TOP 4 BEST CHESS GAMES PAUL MORPHY || FAMOUS CHESS GAMES

Описание: GAME # 1
1857- PAUL MORPHY vs LOIUS PAULSON in NEW YORK

Paul Morphy competed in only one tournament in his short career, the 1st American Chess Congress in 1857. In the final round of this knock-out event, he defeated German master Louis Paulsen by a score of +5, =2, -1. In this game, he demonstrates both his better grasp of positional play -- Black's control of the center files makes a marked contrast to White's flailing on the flanks -- and his combinative ability, as he finishes the game with a startling and brilliant Queen sacrifice.

GAME # 2
1858- PAUL MORPHY vs HENRY BIRD in LONDON ENGLAND

In olden times the object was to win with beautiful strokes, and fans often felt cheated when good defense frustrated a brilliancy. Morphy was the father of positional play, and his style was the antithesis of romanticism. Instead of going for the quick kill, he brought out all his pieces as rapidly as possible. But close scrutiny of his 400 recorded games reveals that many of his combinations were flawed. Here, a pawn ahead with a routine win in sight, he embarks on a celebrated sacrifice that needlessly allowed Bird drawing chances.

GAME # 3
1858- PAUL MORPHY vs ADOLPH ANDERSSEN in PARIS (A 9th Match Game)

A school teacher, later professor of mathematics, Adolph Anderssen had to fit this now-historic match into the Christmas holidays. In some cases, two games were played in one day. This game and many others in the series give the lie to the myth that Anderssen was interested only in attacks on the King. Here he answers a sharp assault on the Sicilian - repeated by Fischer more than a century later - with equal energy. The result is a violent miniature.

GAME # 4
1858- PAUL MORPHY vs COUNT ISOUARD in PARIS

Waiting for Anderssen to arrive from Breslau, Paul Morphy enjoyed the delights of Paris - including the Opera House. During The Marriage of Figaro, he entertains his hosts with this elegant brilliancy, mating on the 17th move with his last two pieces!
