| morpstau: Well every dog has his day and why not old anderssen. I like the fact though that it takes Adolf over 70 moves to beat his young rival in the only 2 games he wins of the match. It just proves even if Morphy losses he shines. |

| ChessDude33: <Sneaky: Do you have an opinion how Black should proceed in order to prove 1.a3 a waste of time?> 1...g6 or a reversed Colle system (1.a3 d5 2. d4 Nf6) makes 1. a3 look alittle funny. |

| schnarre: <ChessDude33> Hardly, as I've beaten 1...g6 with 1. a3. I stick to 2. c4 instead of other moves like 2. d4 though (even vs. 1...d5). |

| ismet: Anderssen known that Morphy was Genius. and He also had computer program brain . So today modern chess players plays against strong chess programs like this way. Closed game and unusual moves.Anderssen saw him. |

| Rubenus: <ismet> You are right! Anderssen was almost as brilliant as Morphy and probably knew what Morphy weaknesses were. If you have to play against the world champion, play 1. a3!! or 1...a6!! (Karpov vs. Miles). What would Morphy do against a Hippo or King's Indian do you think? |

| nimzo knight: Looks more like a Karpov Vs Kramnik. Very positional .... |

| Richard Taylor: Good game by Anderssen - quite deep for those days... |
|

| Floyd5642: I don't think I could be brave enough to play 1 a3. I also don't think of myself as strong enough to follow through with it. |

| addiction to chess: The Anderssen Opening characterized by 1. a3 is an overlooked opening since it is like you just switched the your colors and it becomes useful when playing a reversed Sicilian Defence since that move is part of the procedure already. |

| WhiteRook48: Anderssen- making trash openings like 1. a3 go successful |
|
| Jan-01-09 |
| WhiteRook48: well, he did beat Morphy with 1. a3. So the opening can't be that bad. (He also lost to Morphy with 1. a3 and drew against Morphy with 1. a3.) It's a weird Anderssen Opening. |
|
| Jan-10-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 1. a3 is an interesting way to open. |
|
| Jan-18-09 |
| WhiteRook48: One can only imagine what Morphy's face looked like after this game... |
|
| Jan-31-09 |
| WhiteRook48: what's Rybka's positional analysis after 1. a3? |
|
| Feb-01-09 |
| WhiteRook48: Morphy's longest game in the database |
|
| Feb-06-09 |
| WhiteRook48: funny game, nice endgame |
|
| Feb-15-09 |
| WhiteRook48: and obviously queens the f pawn |

| WeakSquare: Wow, Adolf sez: 1.a3!!!  |
|
| Mar-07-09 |
| WhiteRook48: Seems rather bad to give up the bishop pair |
|
| Mar-07-09 |
| MaxxLange: he actually almost gets a reversed main line Sicilian |

| whitebeach: I believe there was a contemporary report from a British chess publication, whose correspondent claimed actually to have helped Morphy from his sickbed to the game, that Morphy was very ill, apparently with something fluish--hardly unexpected in international travel at the time--which might explain a lot about his play here. Morphy was, quite simply, the best chess player who ever lived. True, he played in the style of his time. What great player doesn't? But at his best he would have dominated in any time, in any style. Unfortunately, he would probably also have succumbed to his mental fragility in any era, just as Fischer did. It's worth remembering that, even though Morphy's many wealthy American fans would have made it very lucrative for a challenger, no one ever took up his offer of pawn and move versus all comers after he returned from Europe. |

| Knight13: <AlexanderMorphy: Anderssen really liked this opening...most of his opponents of that time probably didn't know how to counter it!> Well, not really, he only played it a few times in competitive chess. |
