Paul Morphy Animated Documentary

I am glad to present short animated documentary video of Paul Morphy. If you liked it, please subscribe to my channel! 

Oh come on, don't be so mean, Eastern accent can be fine

Now people use computer.

I played through your delightful video (sans sound). I found the graphics amazing and the flow perfect.

I do however have criticism concerning facts. In at least 2 instances,what you present is completely inaccurate:

1st-

You say the level of chess in the U.S. was low in Morphy's time but then you give a list of European players as examples.

2nd-
This is completely false.

Here is chessmetrics list during 1859 (view image for full size):

Both Anderssen and Harrwitz are listed in the top 4 players, depending upon the month. 

Oddly, chessmetrics lists Franciscus Janssens are one of the strongest players of that time which is totally preposterous and makes everything else suspect in my mind. 

Edochess, as usual, gives a far more reasonable assessment (and place Janssens at 60th place):

What Morphy accomplish was amazing, very little influence from the European players and for him to go to Europe and defeat the best players; one of his hardest match was Harrwitz and defeated him convincingly.

Thank you for commentary. @Batgirl . I gave list of European players when I said he did not play top players of that time, and that list is correct, it's 1858 January from chessmetrics, but I get your point, during other periods, Harrwitz and Anderssen were at the top. Thank you for your kind words, I am looking forward to improving and making more videos, I hope you subscribed !

"The match never took place because the players could not agree on each other conditions." - Kestony
I have never heard of Staunton identifying any conditions during Morphy's European visit. Staunton (eventually) declared that he could not play a match.

"In Europe, he never played the best players of all time. In early 1858, the eight best chess players in the world were these: 1. SERAFINO DUBOIS 2. JULES DE RIVERE 3. J. BUDZINKY 4. ROBERT BRIEN 5. HENRY BIRD 6. ERNST FALKBEER 7. CZAIKOWSKY 8. JOHN SCHULTEN" - Kestony

I doubt that any chess history book would agree with that list. Also, Morphy did play some of those players.

"He also drew John Lowenham in a four game match with one win, one loss, and two draws." - Kestony

"... Daniel Harrwitz and Adolf Anderssen who were not even top 50 players of that time according to chessmetrics. ..." - Kestony

Again, any chess history book would strongly disagree.

"... European champion Howard Staunton ..." - Kestony

He was not generally considered to be European champion in 1858.

"... he never played the strongest players. For example, Geza Maroczy had a peak rating of 2799, Harry Pillsbury had 2806, and Gideon Stahlberg - 2735 ..." - Kestony

None of those players had reached the age of 15 when Morphy died.

10/10 video, I enjoyed every second of it, animations look insanely good, SUBSCRIBED!!!

Wow man I never thought I could enjoy a chess video so much, I even showed it to my wife! I think this animation could work for any famous chess player.

I don't like Morphy, I think he shouldn't even be in top 20, a simple International Master today would crush him easily... I liked the video though, thanks!
