Apr-08-05  aw1988: Behold! Another Morphy vs NN game.
Apr-09-05  BlueKnight81: Morphy has an intresting way of playing, he's like a clam luring his opponents with a pearl but then snapping shut with razer sharp teeth.

Good game, love morphy's games.

Oct-21-05  Pawn Ambush: Morphy even in odds games shows one how to play against the Evans Gambit! Note from 2...Bc5 how he hones in on the f2 square through out the game. Extremely well played odds game!
Jan-30-09  WhiteRook48: wow, he takes off a QN as Black. NN gets white pieces and still loses spectacularly
Aug-02-09  tentsewang: Morphy plays both the imaginative & the unimaginative and always brings it to reality.
