Morphy the Terrible

He almost always won. That is how he was lightyears ahead of his competition. He lived in an era of terrible players and was able to rise far above all of the knowledge available at his time.

If Steinitz played Carlsen he would have his butt handed to him as well. Every generation of chess players are better than the last.

In chess there are no opinions. The games state the truth. 

The games state that Morphy won, it's opinion whether it was good or bad or Parcheesi.

It just so happens that I am the world's greatest craps player, not the dice game, chess!

What's Yereslov's USCF again?

Who cares whether he won or not. He's still a terrible player. 

He was the best of his time. That's important, whether you think he's terrible is irrelevant.

Okay, found it.... just a casual game.

Looked pretty good for a casual game. He was probably enjoying himself, trying to set up a pretty finish.

It makes no difference whether it's casual or not. In fact, as a casual game it should be of better quality.

You write nonsense like this because you believe it?

It just so happens that I have been going over some of Morphy's games with a computer and the computer gives Morphy's moves a top rating.

'As a casual game it should be better'

What?:-/

No. He writes it because he's a troll. He's even admitted it himself.

AHAHAHAAHAHAH

ahh, that was a funny read. you amuse me greatly, Yereslov.

That's just sad, the first rule of being a troll is you never admit to being a troll.

that just makes him a bad troll.

Tournaments tend to create more stress. I always play better chess in casual games.

Probably what gives you your incredible 989 online chess rating.

No stress, no time pressure, you play your best chess.
