I was expecting some weird combination of the French and the Fried Liver.
i agree
It is funny how everybody has a different style of play and that everybody is different. Somehow the personality transposes into moves on the board. For me it's like the chess moves and the person are one. The games have certainly been played by one person or Machine

Do you really think a person's personality is displayed over the board?
I see Morphy as having been a very gentle man, but I see his syle of play as that of a cold-blooded assassin. Do you think that people reveal their true personality, perhaps unknown even to themselves, during a game?
I am not sure that i am good enough to analyze this game because i just started to play chess seriously, but i think that as far as i saw this is kind of a mistake game by black.
First of all, black made some startigic mistakes in the opening. The point of the french is maintaining a close game, at least as far as white doesn't take the pawn, as well as keeping the option to play c5 to strike at the d4 point. Black just removed these two ideas by playing c6 and then taking the pawn, a thing that i totally can't understand.
Second of all, black didn't do so well to maintain king saftey, you took advantage of it very well at move 19.Bxh6, a very good move, and move 20 - taking the knight which is the only real potential defender of the king.
The last tactic with the rook was pretty nice, but actually after you got to this situation with unsafe king and queens still on the board, tactics are 99% out there, and you just need to fine them.
So nice winning tactic at the end, but i think the moved that were actually made up the game were moves 19 and 20 by white, as well as the stratigic mistakes by black.

Actually, I think 19.Bxh6 is unsound but gained me a good bit of time in this blitz game.

Lol, that's another way to look at it, but it actually one of the moves that crucialy destroyed his king safety, as far as i see.

I just saw I could get 1 or 2 pawns for the Bishop (or for the Knight) and open up his cover...all of which I figured would cause him more difficulty than me being down a pawn or 2. It's the kind of action I love in a game.
As far as I know, Morphy had his principles on the board as well as off the board. Ok, one guy when playing Blitz with me wrote to me I was pathetic and he was right - something I wasn't that much aware of... I'll try to get my point elsewise. I can see from your games, you can really finish the games nicely - you really can see the point of what you are doing beforehand. I also believe that you can see the point of your articles you write before you write them. That is why they are so interesting or genuine, because it is you who composed them. There is insight in both. Cold-blooded assassin - that is so nice!

I played this 5/0 game yesterday. In spite my missing an obvious and winning tactic, I liked this game a lot. I played White against the French.
