| WhiteRook48: I played this on Guess-The-Move and got everything right except I played 7...bxc6 instead of...dxc6. Wow. I'm getting more familiar with these Morphy games |

| Garech: Has any thought been given to 20. Qd3?
It seems that white might be okay here and able to maintain the material advantage. |
|

| WhiteRook48: 17...Qxf3!! is just great.
if 20. Qd3, then 20...Bxf1 21 Qxf1 and white seems to have a good game. I might be missing something |

| Pianoplayer: Morphy, when it comes to chess, he was pure genius. He SHOULD be the 1st world chess champion with that incredible 84.6% winning percentage. No offense to Steinitz. |

| MrMelad: <Morphy took twelve minutes over his next move, probably to assure himself that the combination was sound and that he had a forced win in every variation. -- Chernev> He says 12 minutes like it's a long time who didn't see Kamsky take an hour to think of a single unimportant move which lost... Morphy played blitz with everyone and he was so fast, he retired aged 21, already a century ahead his time. |

| Brainwashed: >20.Qd3 f5 21.Qc4+ Kf8 22.Qf4
It looks like White's Queen finally finds a way to sacrifice for the rook and Black should look for another line to carry on with the attack. |

| Calli: 20.Qd3 f5 21.Qc4+ Kf8 22.Qf4 Bxf2!! shatters White's illusions. |

| sneaky pete: My descriptive 1957 Dover edition of Sergeant's book has "If 20 Q-Q3 P-KB4 (preventing QxR and threatening mate in 2) 21 Q-B4ch K-Bsq and White's last bolt is shot." You can't blame Sergeant if some people interpret 21 ... K-Bsq as 21... Kh8. |

| Calli: <sneaky pete> Must be the third time someone has quoted Sergeant incorrectly and I have believed them. I count on you to expose their inaccuracies! Chernev's note about Morphy thinking 12 minutes on 17...Qxf3 comes from Fiske's tournament book. His note reads: "Time, four hours. A record of the time consumed was only kept through a portion of the game. The first player's longest move was his sixteenth, thirty-eight minutes. None of the second player's moves exceeded five minutes, except his seventeenth, on which he considered twelve minutes." If the time was "only kept through a portion of the game", how did they know all those details? |

| Blackqueen: on 6.Nxe5 why doesn't black recapure?
Because of the pawn centre? or the extra tempo? |

Because of the pawn centre? or the extra tempo?> Black was probably afraid of getting forked by the d-pawn

| LIFE Master AJ: The last time I kibitzed on this page was now ... two years ago! (Wow, time really goes by quickly.) The link that I gave (earlier) is also invalid, that website was closed. If you would like to see this game annotated, here is my try at it:

| Kinghunt: I played the demo of Guess the Move and tried 24...Bg4, which I know to be stronger than the text. Yet Guess the Move claimed it was inferior and gave 0 points. =( |

| Honza Cervenka: <Surely Count what's his face in the famous "opera house game" did not develop his pieces very quickly> Well, in fact quite paradoxically two developing moves of black (3...Bg4 and 6...Nf6) were clearly the main culprits of black's disaster in that game. |

| LIFE Master AJ: <Honza C> True! |

| gamego: Why not 22...Qxf1 23.Qxf1 ...Re1 24. Qxe1 ...RxR. Does that work? |
|
| Aug-19-09 |
| gamego: Correction: these moves should start at the 17th move of black rather than at the 22nd. |
|
| Aug-20-09 |
| gamego: re correction: Why not 17....Qxf1 18.Qxf1...Re1 19.QxR...RxQ. Does this work for mate? |
|
| Sep-16-09 |
| hippatxu: in ur line white simply donīt want to make 19.QxR. |

| Jeanjargh: Hey I got 61, 61 I must study morphy's style more |

| WarriorSpirit: Isn't 28. H3 much better.
This is my analysis of it. It also stops that sure mate on the 2nd rank
28. ... Rxh3+ 29. Kg2 Rg3+ 30. Kh2 Rd3 31. Kh1 f5 32. Kg2 Bd4+ 6. Kh1 |
|

|
| Calli: <WarriorSpirit:> 28.H3 Rxh3+ 29. Kg2 Rg3+ 30. Kh2 Be1+ 31.Kh1 Re4 and mate next |
|

| WarriorSpirit: yea he would survive longer tho :) |

| GaeBulg: 17...Qxf3!!
Took Rybka a good 30 seconds to find, at depth 19. That's deeper and longer than any other !! move I've ever tried to use Rybka to find. |
