Isn't the best move on 9:47 for black still taking the rook on f1 because after the white queen takes back, black can play rook g1 and then queen takes rook coz it's pinned and then again rook g1 and it's checkmate?
Even if ppl know the game, we would still love your take on it Eric! Thanks!!
Qxf3!!
"Oh no my queen" from the annuls of history version
Can you review the beautiful Paul Morphy Opera Game?
Yes keep doing these vidoes! I love it!
His name was Louis Paulsen.
Very cool
I thought his greates queen sac was "… – Qg3" under the 3 white pawns
Keep these videos coming
Love the chess game and the series, please point the tip of your mic more at you mouth so it's not catching every breathe in.
Thanks for this series! I need to know these games
Agadmator said that, you have to run engine in a very high depth for it to find the queen sac.
Hot diggity my comment feels like it mattered. Booya, thanks Eric 🙂
This game analysis is what I've missed from this channel. I discovered Eric long ago from his STL-CC lectures on games and positional tactics.
I haven’t even watched this video yet and I already want to say: this is superb content, thank you.
Best analysis I've seen in ages! Wow, you are a great teacher.
Looking forward to this series!
I am SO EXCITED for this and for any other classical games you share! Thanks so much for all your hard work on your awesome content!
This series is a great idea but damn I wish you would so a little slower and more in depth
Yeah, Morphy was ahead of his time. Thanks for the video.
Bf3 was the beginning of whites downfall as with the bishop on e2, c3 is fine
Instead of Ra2, Qa6 a move earlier than was played would force the back queen away from d3 although black would still be much better. In this game white, starting with Bf3 instead of c3, always played the right move one move too late when it became a bad move.
Thank you Eric, great video!
Love this content!
Love the content!
Rosen nation!
Yes please Eric! More in this series would be welcome. [smile] In particular show; "The gold coin game" & the queen sac followed by 2 knights forcing the king across the board ending in a rook sac followed by whites king stepping out of the way to allow the other rook to mate. Sorry for the long description, I don't know the players or the names of those games. [lol &a grin]
his name is Louis Paulsen! his name is Louis Paulsen!
I just saw a TED Ed video today entitled "A Brief History of Chess" which was published on YouTube three years ago. I think it referenced this exact game as a major turning point in chess strategy.
Morphy vs Scrufer, I made an animated video of it for kids for my old company as a chess coach.
My favorite Morphy game is Bird – Morphy, 1857 where he unleashes the beautiful Rxf2!!, Bxf2 Qa3!! and just destroys his opponent immediately. Fantastic geometry involved in that sequence.
Oh yes, my chess history lessons!
Thx Eric for making it a series. Appreciated.
Eric, please do more content like this. If you can please do the Emory tate vs yudasin game. Its wildddd and the name will get clicks to your channel
YES to the new series
Great content as always 🙂 can you make a video on how to analyze and learn on your own from the classical games
Yooo let’s go
Love these, Eric. Keep em coming please!
imagine playing a game that's so good that it's still discussed 150 years later
interesting that d4 was the last move white made in the game
I knew this game because of the Qd3 move, but I'm glad you took your time to explain the Stafford style idea, never seen anybody pick up on that idea and explaining it.
Great series! Looking forward to learning more games!
Great idea. Looks like there will be more Eric Rosen in my life soon. 🙂
eric please keep doing these
Loved the new series idea!!
thank you Eric, this is very helpful , some games that contains standard plans and ideas on how to continue after the opening
This series is premium content, thank you!
2:25 is very reminiscent of stafford gambit!
Edit: oh, you pointed this out later lol
This is a good series idea
am loving it.
Wow what a coincidence… I found this game looking for Morphy's best games, and the next day we have this video uploaded on YouTube
