  It's unbelievable just how far ahead of his time he was.

  Kings gambit is difficult to play with constant threats and pawn down but morphy made it look so easy

  Game 5 vs. Rousseau: "With the precision of a surgeon, Morphy plays the only winning move". Morphy makes it seem so effortless. He indeed deserves the accolade of being the strongest player of the 19th Century,

  Game 3: Paul Morphy vs Bornemann, Paris 1858 .(This game is part of one of 8 simultaneous blind games ).During the second break of the match against Harrwitz, Morphy had his friend Edge organize a feat never seen up to then in Paris and that is a blind simultaneous against 8 strong players of the Café de la Régence. The blind challenge began at 12.30 and ended at 22.30 on Monday 27 September 1858. During the 10 long hours of the simultaneous blind match Morphy played expertly winning 6 games, drawing 2 and not losing any. At the end of the performance it took Morphy about half an hour to leave the club: everyone wanted to congratulate him and shake his hand. The following morning of the blind simulcast Morphy dictated the games he had played to his friend Edge Milnes with many variations. He remembered perfectly the progress of all the matches.

  Seeing Morphy constantly inventing new solutions to the same chess problem without repetition is like listening to a great jazz musician constantly creating new melodies over the same chord progression.  What an amazing artist he was!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAzLRIoozOc&amp;t=290">4:50</a> Qb3 is also mate but not as neat as b3#. <br><br>That’s what separates the Morphys from the Patzers.
