| Jan-10-06 | | morpstau: Another example of how to play the dreaded evans gambit. paul morphy sees his opponent not castle and burns him. Oh how i love to see the Morphy attack!!(9.nc3!) |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | MrsMurdstone: gorgeous Queen deflection! |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | morpstau: Thats just the icing on a long since baked cake! Morphy saw that move 5 moves before it was played!!! Its a sac of the queen not a deflection. |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | blingice: You are still saying things without you actually KNOWING what is happening, <morpstau>. The  SACRIFICE causes a DEFLECTION of BLACK'S . He's talking about black's , not white's . |
|
| Jan-11-06 | | morpstau: oh i appologize humbly on my part. It is indeed a deflection not a sac. Black had to take and mate next move. But i dont know why black just didnt resign when he saw the brilliant move by the first player? |
|
| Sep-08-06 | | babakova: I would have played 32.Bc6 if I were white. Of course black is already completely busted and it doesnt really matter what move is made, but Bc6 requires minimum calculation and minimum effort. |

 | | nimh: Rybka 2.3.1 mp, AMD X2 2.01GHz, 10 min per move, threshold 0.33. Morphy 2 mistakes:
20.Ne2 -0.17 (20.Rg3 0.37)
21.Nf4 -0.64 (21.Bf4 0.07)
Schulten 5 mistakes:
21...Nxf4 0.25 (21...Qd7 -0.64)
22...g5 4.63 (22...fxe5 0.24)
23...Ke8 7.78 (23...Kf7 4.62)
26...Kg6 12.84 (26...Ke8 7.79)
28...Bd8 #13 (28...h6 12.38)

| Jan-28-08 | | JimmyVermeer: babakova, Morphy's 32nd move was correct. It's a mate in 7. If Morphy had played your Bc6, Black could have delayed mate a number of moves longer by playing 32...Kg6. Morphy's 31st move is a mate in 9. If Black had delayed mate for as long as possible at that point, the game might have ended: 31 Be3 Bd8 32 Rg4 Bf6 33 Rg3 g4 34 Rh3+ gxh3 35 Qc5+ Qd5 36 Qxd5+ Kh4 37 Qf5 Nh6 38 Qf4+ Kh5 39 Qxh6# |

 | | heuristic: <21.Nf4 -0.64 (21.Bf4 0.07)>
with a Fritz8 eval, the difference between these two moves is 0 ! (13ply) 21.Nf4 Qd7 22.Nxg6+ hxg6 23.Bf4 fxe5
21.Bf4 fxe5 22.dxe5 N8e7 23.Rg5 Qh4
and to my eye, these two positions do look about equal...
thus, your engine may vary!

 | | Gambit All: 11... f8?? - seems highly dubious. Of multiple possibilities, ... e7 followed by 0-0 makes Morphy's work a little harder. |
|
| Jul-20-09 | | tentsewang: What a beautiful checkmate by Morphy, sacrificing queen as to end up victor had never been miscalculated back in that old era. |

 | | sevenseaman: Well if Schulten cannot suspect that White queen was a Trojan horse for a gift I too didn't pause to have a suspicion. Amazing! As they say in business, 'there are no free lunches.' |
|
| Jun-24-12 | | e4 resigns: I love the Evans, but why would Morphy play 6.0-0?!
I think he himself wrote somewhere that 6.d4! was best. |
|
| Nov-20-12 | | Llawdogg: Look at the final position. All Morphy's pieces are placed perfectly for the mating attack, while all of black's pieces are in a useless heap in the corner. |
