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 Jabez Carr
Blindfold simul, 8b (1858) (blindfold), Birmingham ENG, Aug-27
Carr Defense: General (B00)
1. e4 Notes by J. Lowenthal 1... h6 2. d4 a5 3. Bd3 b6 4. Ne2 e6 5. O-O Ba6 This series of unusual moves was no doubt adopted with the view of embarrasing the blindfold player, in place of which it served to allow him to bring out his pieces and secure victory in a shorter space of time. 6. c4 Nf6 7. e5 Nh7 8. f4 Be7 9. Ng3 d5 10. Qg4 O-O 11. Nh5 g5 12. fg5 hg5 Black has indeed placed himself in a deplorable condition in vainly attempting to puzzle his antagonist. 13. Bh7 Nf6+ would also have led to a speedy termination. 13... Kh8 14. Nf6 dc4 15. Bc2 Qd4 16. Qd4 Bc5 17. Qc5 bc5 18. Bg5 Nc6 19. Rf3 Threatening mate in two moves. 19... Kg7 20. Bh6 Kh6 21. Rh3 Kg5 22. Rh5 Kf4 23. Kf2 Terminating the game in masterly style, and giving it an interest, from the nature of the opening, which we had not looked.

Hello Agadmator, At 4:57 when the queen captured on h7 with check and the black king moved to g8, what if white captured on f6 with the pawn not with rook, I think it is checkmate faster than yours and Morphy one.

I think Morphy had the best head for chess, I think. Back when people didn't take chess seriously, Morphy included. It wasn't a profession then. Could Magnus or Fischer play this blindfolded? I doubt it.

In some of Agadmator's excellent videos we see a dog in the background, and it reminds me of an old joke: A man is sitting in a café playing chess with his dog. Another man enters and begin to watch the game. "Excuse me sir, but that is really a remarkable dog you have!" he says after having watched some time. "Oh," says the owner: "Why do think so?" "But, it can play chess!!" replies the man. "Well I don't know," says the owner: "I win four games out of five."

honestly i don't think it is a weird idea at all. If i were playing someone who's blindfolded i don't think it would be a bad idea to play weird moves to create an unconventional position. Obviously it didn't work out, but there's a good chance he would have also lost and maybe even had worse chances had he played a normal game.

Just a note on pronunciation - as I know you are meticulous in your attention to detail - Leamington is pronounced LEM-ington. Just one of those quirky Anglicisms. It also goes by the names ‘Leamington Spa” or even “Royal Leamington Spa”. Not many British place names get to prefix themselves with the word “ Royal” but a few get that honour.

Only in Agadmator's chess one has the ability to find forced checkmate of 8 moves in just 2 secs.. while the grandmasters out there struggle with that little clock.. ! Its because we (agadmators subscribers) can pause the time without being in a black hole.
