Dec-31-08   WhiteRook48: Morphy. The ultimate chessplayer. Favorite player of mine and it's pretty obvious after seeing this game. Although I must say I'm starting to favor Morozevich or Karpov or Fischer...
Jan-01-09   WhiteRook48: Go Morphy! Where??
Jan-04-09   WhiteRook48: Morphy's middle name is the name of his opponent, interesting.
Jan-19-09   WhiteRook48: weird mate from the corner.

  A.G. Argent: You know, there are a few, very few, chess games that remind me of seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. You can't and really shouldn't speak. Just sit and stare with the only sound being the sound of your jaw dropping. Hyperbole? Nope. Fact, Jack.
Jan-22-09   WhiteRook48: 7...Bf8?? I think that was the losing move.
Jan-24-09   WhiteRook48: interesting mate from the corner- again

  Fusilli: Hey, <WhiteRook48>, it's been more than a week since you posted a comment on this game! :)
Feb-04-09   WhiteRook48: what do you mean?
Feb-04-09   WhiteRook48: 11. Bxf7+!! is a great move that I, as a patzer, would not have played unless I'd seen it 99 times in a row

  blacksburg: oh, no, that was nasty. i need to study more tactics books :(
Feb-08-09   tentsewang: Wow!! Very thoughtful game by Morphy.
Mar-03-09   mastermind7994: Beauty!!!
Mar-03-09   Riverbeast: A great opening to play at Rook odds, white almost never uses his queens rook in the Goring Gambit anyway !
Mar-18-09   Pawnage: Brutal finish, yet aesthetically pleasing. A 'perfect mate'.
Mar-27-09   mastersgreatplay: correct me if im wrong but doesnt black not get mated if: 11...;kd8
12 rxd1+;bd6
13 nxc6+;bxc6
14 bxg7; ne7
15 bxh8

the game is even here pieces wise unless theres a variation i dont see..

Apr-02-09   Hitokiri Battousai: WhiteRook48: 7...Bf8?? I think that was the losing move.

I think the losing move was sitting to play with Morphy

Apr-30-09   wiseachoo: Very cool mate. It's sort of a reverse smothered mate ;).
May-10-09   TheWizardfromHarlem: best mate i have seen so far. its unfathomable how good this guy is. its like he's the one playing against 11 yr olds.
May-24-09   YoungEd: best...checkmate....ever!!!
Jun-13-09   xmanter: morphy only needs a pawn to win...fischer would get owned :)
Jun-13-09   WhiteRook48: and the other stupid move was to play the game with Morphy throwing off a rook
Jun-13-09   xmanter: I would only accept a challenge from Morphy with a King handicap...otherwise correct move - decline

  SatelliteDan: I think Morphy must have done drugs..
Aug-23-09   tentsewang: Discover check with double check can never be solidify as Mr. Morphy has shown in this unique game. If Morphy's opponent makes a slightest error then think its game over for his adversary. Simply Morphy was and is the king of chess!
