| Benzol: <ughaibu> Have you had a look at Ben Lau's profile? |
 |

| ughaibu: I have and I would prefer if he reconsiders. Chessgames.com is an international community of 20,000+ members, it's fanciful to expect to avoid conflict and only two members are mentioned, what's that? 0.001%, ridiculous to be driven out by such an insignificant proportion. |

| SBC: This particular game of Morphy offering Rook oods to Maurian is dated 1855. Does anyone know the source of this game score? |

| unclewalter: I'm no Morphy, but is e2 really a good place to put your Q?!?!? |

| TheParadigm: Yes. |

| RookFile: Hey, what are you going to do,
if you're a rook down. You
CAN'T play "correctly", you have
to take chances. |

| Averageguy: Well done Charles Maurian! Morphy started down a rook, but that had nothing to do with the game, so Maurian deserves alot of credit. |

| AlexanderMorphy: well Morphy still wasn't MORPHY....if you know what i mean, although maurian deserves a lot of credit! |
|

| ughaibu: If Morphy wasn't Morphy why the hell was he giving odds? |
|
| Dec-13-05 |
| mr. nice guy: Actually Maurian beat Steinitz without odds. Steinitz vs Maurian, 1883 |

| Akavall: 11.Qxa6?? is a blunder, of course. |
|
| Dec-14-05 |
| TheParadigm: <Akavall> Moves which lead to forced mate in two are generally considered blunders. |
|

| AlexanderMorphy: <ughaibu> because he was better than most players of that time...however he still wasn't in a class of his own as he was in a couple of years from this game! |

| Judah: You can't call Qxa6 a blunder: Morphy was hopelessly lost whatever he did at that point. Of course, one might argue that the starting position was objectively lost for Morphy, but the immediate blunder was probably 10 Nxd4. |

| WhiteRook48: 11. c4 saves Morphy |
|

| WhiteRook48: Forget what I said earlier, Black can take en passant. |
|

| WhiteRook48: stupid Morphy blunder |
|

| WhiteRook48: this game should be annotated:
9. Qe2!? on the same diagonal things can get risky...
9...Nxd4!! what a move. A Maurian brilliancy.
10. Nxd4?? Odd for Morphy. He should've let the knight around but he seeks to regain some material does he?
10...b4! uncovering a pin. There's a lot of pressure on the Qe2. If she doesn't take, she is lost.
11. Qxa6 driving the queen away from the king.
11...Qd1+ 12. Kf2 Nxe4# (or 12...Bg4#) |
|
| Jan-02-09 |
| WhiteRook48: I meant 12...Ng4# |
|
| Jan-06-09 |
| WhiteRook48: I would prefer 5. Bxb5 instead of 5. Bd5, but Morphy probably wants to attack f7. |
|
| Jan-13-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 5. Bd5 has a point: threatening the a8-Rook. |
|
| Jan-21-09 |
| WhiteRook48: wow! Maurian beats Morphy with one of his own attacking ideas! |
|
| Jan-28-09 |
| WhiteRook48: what's even more amazing is that the black queen is hanging |
|
| Jan-31-09 |
| WhiteRook48: one might think that Morphy did this sacrificial attack if they hadn't looked at the players |
