This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged.
The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met.
While today few non chess players even know his name, he was one of the most famous celebrities of his time and within the hallowed halls of the chess playing community he is considered by some as the greatest chess player of all time.
But this diminutive, unassuming boy rose to fame almost out of nowhere and once he secured his place in history, he retired back into that hazy unknown, shunning the public eye, never again to play serious chess. Not only was he one of great practitioners of the game, but also one of it's greatest enigmas. He's been given the sobriquet, The Pride and Sorrow of Chess.

Paul Morphy vs Adolf Anderssen
Anderssen - Morphy (1858), Paris FRA, rd 7, Dec-25
Scandinavian Defense: Anderssen Counterattack (B01)


1. e4 Notes by Lowenthal 1... d5 We consider this mode of evading an open game as decidedly inferior to either ...e6 or ...c5, (the French and Sicilian openings) though but some short time ago it was in high repute, and was even adopted by Mr. Staunton at the Birmingham meeting. 2. ed5 Qd5 3. Nc3 Qa5...Qd8 is frequently played, but the move in the text is preferable. 4. d4 e5 5. de5 Qe5 6. Be2 Bb4 7. Nf3 Sacrificing a pawn to obtain a more speedy development of his pieces. 7... Bc3 8. bc3 Qc3 9. Bd2 Qc5 10. Rb1 Nc6 11. O-O Nf6 12. Bf4 O-O Attempting to defend the c pawn would only have led him into difficulty. 13. Bc7 Nd4 14. Qd4 Qc7 15. Bd3 Bg4 16. Ng5 Rfd8 17. Qb4 Bc8 There appears to be no other mode of saving the pawn; for if ...b6, White would have taken the h pawn with the knight, and won a pawn. 18. Rfe1 a5 19. Qe7 Qe7 20. Re7 Nd5 This is an instructive position 21. Bh7 Kh8 22. Rf7 Nc3 23. Re1 Na2 24. Rf4 Ra6 25. Bd3
