a little birthday help? please?
is there anybody that could maybe do a little digging for me since my PC is down? I'm doing some master game studying, starting with Paul Morphy. I'm trying to emphasize on his mating nets/combinations for the moment. I will be going over the whole games, but only the ones ending in checkmate first. could someone help me out and list the games he played that only ended in him winning by checkmate? if that's too much, then maybe a list of all his miniatures?

I got my old laptop running since my PC is dead. I went through EVERY Paul Morphy win via chessbase mega database 14. out of the 388 games listed only 28 were via checkmate. 24 as white, 4 as black. oddly enough the only time he checkmate Anderssen was as black.
I've been going over his games. he knew alot more then people give him credit for. what seem like mediocre or not so great moves really was just steering the game towards checkmate, which is the goal of the game ultimately. his play was simple and straightforward, true, but very powerful
