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. |

 | | 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. |

 | | 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. |
|
Apr-27-12 | | 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 |
|
Jun-15-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Guess-the-Move Final Score:
Morphy vs A Meek, 1857.
YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF MORPHY.
Your score: 24 (par = 19)

|
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 |

 | | MissScarlett: Following on B Raphael vs Morphy, 1857 (kibitz #14), this game appears in the <ILN> of November 26th 1864, p.547. |
|
Oct-09-23 | | rmdalodado: Reti's book Masters of the Chessboard noted that Morphy plays blindfolded in this game. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi rmdalodado,
Your copy of 'Masters of the Chessboard' may have a slight printing flaw. This threads game is given as an OTB game (Game 7). The intro to game 8 says; 'Taken from six simultaneous blindfold games' That game is here: Morphy vs P Bonford, 1858 Reti has NN but a diligent chessgames researcher has found out who played Black. Maybe the game 8 introduction in your copy has jumped to the last note in Game 7. |
|
Oct-12-23 | | rmdalodado: <Sally Simpson>, thanks for your comment as I was only basing my information from the 21st Century (2012) edition of Reti's book which for Game #7 states that Morphy plays blindfolded against Meek in the game. Upon checking the older edition of Reti's MOTCB book (The 1961? edition translated from the German by by M.A. Schwendemann), you are right as there was no mention of Morphy playing blindfolded in this game. |
