| AnalyzeThis: <WhiteRook48: this game is so old > Gives you a sense of Morphy's genius - he truly was a man ahead of his time. |

| chessgames.com: <walker: Why Bobby annotated this game?> They were comments Fischer made on a Yugoslavian television show, as he played through this famous game on one of those large hanging demonstration boards. Also, somebody asked on the Crafty chessforum what Black's best move is after 7.Qb3. White is already much better at that point, but we'll let Crafty analyze it and report what she finds to be the best continuation. |

| njchess: Superior game from Morphy in spite of the competition. Simple and elegant. I have actually reached the text position with 9. Bg5 in the Philidor as White. However, none of my opponents have ever given me the pleasure of playing 9. ... b5. Instead, they have all played 9. ... g6; a disappointment to me every time. |

| dehanne: This game must've shut up Duke Karl & Count Isouard, aka Statler & Waldorf, for at least two hours. |

| blacksburg: <Why 14. Qe6 by Darl> hehehe <Darl>???
14...Qe6 looks like an attempt to defend the d7 rook by unpinning the f6 knight. |

| gamego: This game is a work of art. Its beauty is astonishing, as in so many of his games. Never tire of playing it over and over. |

| markofthemushroom: For some reason, rybka likes 6. queen b3. looks kind of greedy but I think that it wants black to move the pawn so that it can win an exchange at c6 or d7 later...maybe pin a piece against the black queen and king. 6.Qb3 is too subtle for my tastes. I like 6.Bc4. I don't think that it does it in order to snatch the b-pawn, I think that it is getting ready to do a major pile up on a killer pin. |

| ughaibu: I think Qb3 is easily the best move of the game. The queen has nothing to do on the kingside, black has a week queenside due to having exchanged his white bishop, so it's natural to have the queen on a white square on the queenside, and this has to be done before white's co-ordination is interfered with by Nc3. |

| markofthemushroom: Thing is that Rybka wanted to do the Qb3 instead of the bishop coming out to c4. It maybe a hit on black's b-pawn but I think that Rybka's motives were well hidden. I think that it's plan was to eventually transfer the queen to a4 to pile up on a pin. |

| TheFocus: This was the second game I ever memorized. The first was Donald Byrne - Fischer, 1956. I played through that game hundreds of times. To me, that is the greatest game ever played.I began to play the Grunfeld, and even used the Reverse Grunfeld in tournament and match games. From that point on, I was a Fischer fan. |

| Deji: The first game I will ever memorize from beginning to end - actually the only game I have ever memorized from beginning to end. I remember falling in love with both the game and the player (Paul Morphy). So I added it to one of my collections. Right now I'm writing a story based on the game (www.inspiredchesstales.wordpress.com)Another favorite player of mine is Petrosian. His ways were really mysterious. I've tactical storms and slow positional upheaval by this wizard. I guess we could call him a Tiger and a Constrictor at the same time |

| MrMelad: Yes Analyze, mating with only the rook and bishop against the entire black army is exactly like this. |

| Wayne Proudlove: In typical Morphy fashion he forgoes an easy checkmate (15. Bxf6 and 16. Bxd7+) in favour of a artistic finish. |
