Mar-03-04		InspiredByMorphy: Morphy actually wins a piece in the game, which would have been enough to secure a draw or (likely in Morphy's case) find a win in just a Queen Knight odds game.

Oct-12-05		amuralid: Wow! I never knew Morphy lost games :)

Dec-01-05		Chopin: The thing I love about Morphy's games is that even though he'll play with odds, he'll still sacrifice pieces.

Dec-31-08		WhiteRook48: I thought Morphy had that game working pretty well.

Jan-01-09		WhiteRook48: if it took you that long to find Morphy lost games... then you should look at the Morphy page. His winning percentage is high, but not 100%. or did you mean the ones Morphy wasn't winning were all draws?? :)
