Aug-10-05 | | Averageguy: Morphy seems very good at obtaining winning positions with by castling queenside when he has a bishop on b5 pinning a knight on d7. See his game against Duke Karl/Count Isourd. |
|
Aug-10-05 | | RookFile: Meek played fine, except that 10... Be7 is a blunder. Play 10... Bd6
instead, and black has a reasonable position. |

And if 12...a6 13.Bxd7+ Qxd7, then 14.Bxf6 gxf6 15.Qxf6 R~ 16.Rxd6... <Chessical: <Who> Morphy would still win a piece after <12...h6> 13.Bxd7+ Qxd7 14.Bxf6 gxf6 15.Qxf6 > And White could also answer the <12...h6> with the sequence 13.Bxf6 Qxf6 14.Qxf6 gxf6 15.Rxd6... |

Feb-28-06 | | Jim Bartle: I'm sorry. Alexander Beaufort Meek never existed. He was invented by P.G. Wodehouse, a buddy of Gussie Mannering-Phipps. |

Apr-02-08 | | heuristic: <obtaining winning positions by castling queenside when a bishop is on b5>
wonder if that's the rationale behind 9.Nc3. this move seems weak compared to 9.0-0 or Qg3 or even Na3. and if BLK had responded stronger to this move, 9...a6 or Qe7 or even Qh4+, the game would be equal. BLK's disasterous 10...Be7 seems to be a simple oversight. Against any "normal" developing move by WHT, it's not too bad. |

Apr-27-12 | | sevenseaman: <12. 0-0-0> What a charmer of a move! Puts a winning spin on things! |

 | | al wazir: 12...Qe7. Now what?
If 13. Rxd6 Qxd6 14. Rd1, then 14...Qxd1+ 15. Qxd1 O-O-O. Even with ♖+♖+♘+♘+♙ vs. ♕+♗+♗ I wouldn't want to face Morphy in this position, but it isn't an obvious loss. If 13. Nd5, then 13...Qe6 14. Nc7+ Bxc7 15. Bxf6 Qxf6 16. Qxf6 (16. Rxd7 Bd8 18. Rxb1+ Kf8) gxf6 17. Rxd7 Ba5 18. Rb7+ Kf8. Material is even with oppositely colored ♗s, but black's position is awful. |

Apr-27-12 | | sneaky pete: <al wazir> If 12... Qe7 13.Nd5 Qe6 14.Bxf6 gxf6 15.Nxf6+ .. |
|
Apr-27-12 | | ninja warrior: morphy has always been my favorite player... love how he crushes black like a bug in 12 moves here. =D |
|
Apr-27-12 | | newzild: <sneaky pete: <al wazir> If 12... Qe7 13.Nd5 Qe6 14.Bxf6 gxf6 15.Nxf6+> Yes, Black is utterly toast after 12...Qe7. We could take the variation further: 12...Qe7
13. Nd5 Qe6
14. Bxf6 gxf6
15. Nxf6+ Ke7
16. Bxd7 Qxf6
17. Qxf6+ Kxf6
18. Rxd6+
And White has won a clear piece. |

Apr-27-12 | | master of defence: And what happens after 12... Be7? I didn´t see a good continuation for white here. |

 | | keypusher: <master of defence: And what happens after 12... Be7? I didn´t see a good continuation for white here.> 13.Bxf6 and 14.Rxd7 looks good to me. |
|
Apr-27-12 | | MindCtrol9: There was no way with Morphy!!!! He was out of time like Fischer.I wondering if the actual best players of the World could handle his imagination. |
|

 | | kevin86: Morphy was just about to pick his opponent apart-when rudely,he resigned. |

|
Apr-27-12 | | bischopper: morphy to make sleep and when you wake bye my friend where do you are?... |
|
Apr-27-12 | | Marmot PFL: White's position after move 12 is similar to this better known game Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858 |

Nov-19-12 | | Llawdogg: What a party pooper! |
|
Nov-19-14 | | Ke2: remember kids, in the opening, complete your development then castle (they resign when you castle) |
|
Nov-19-14 | | Ke2: clearest after Qe7 is simply Bxf6 followed by Nd5. but black is completely crushed with basically any legal move so its moot |
