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.

Mr. Barnes:
He attacc
He attacc
But most importantly, he attacc
yep
He just attacc
Well.. it is chess.
He wasn’t attacking, he was DEFENDING my wrath
@@alizster3186 morphys ded bro
Fascinating that Barnes consistently achieves fantastic positions and misses the simplest tactical resources. Same here.
Once I saw a really complicated mate in 5 but then fucked it up and missed a back rank checkmate losing the game
He should probably do more puzzle rush
@@thatoneguy9582 I was positionally +6 in a slow game the other day and blundered forced mate.
I'm known for achieving bad positions and then missing simple tactics.

Capablanca: Gambits are refuted by accepting them.
Barnes declines 2 gambits and beats Morphy.
Capablanca: *surprised pikachu face*
I wonder if Morphy assumed that Barnes couldn't turn down any material so prepared for him to take on of the 2 gambitted pawns
Especially when capablanca saw Barnes and Morphy's games. 😂😂
Be like:
I was completely wrong
CAPABLANCA SHOCKED
BARNES ROCKED

*"Hello Everyone"* is a perfect opening
Good one
😂😂😂 good one
Even Google Deep Mind couldnt come up with a better opening move
*"Hi everyone, it's Jerry"* is also pretty strong.
@@Jivvi Wrong channel
Everyone : g2 is the winning move
Agadmator : Congratulations to those who played anything other than g2 and shame on you who played g2
Dil se bura lgta h bhai😅😅
For once I actually found the winning idea, can't wait to tell my friends at the bar and the library
@@the_bottomfragger Yeah, it was considerably easier than the usual ones! I usually don't find these, but that wasn't pretty obvious; Even if you don't find the right move, it's easy to see that g2 doesn't work.
For once I saw that g2 was a draw, but not fast enough to see what else to do.
This vid was the very first time I actually guessed the correct move. Usually I don't even try because I'm so confused lol, so that one felt good.

A S 😂😂😂😂😂
@@PushyPawn I'm halfway to convinced he gets the script from Agadmator between recording and uploading/publishing. Or at least a heads-up about when it will go live. Which is great.
morphy: mr barnes i heard you were quite a attacker
barnes: indeed, attack is honnor
*morphy plays king's and evan's gambits in the same game*
barnes: ... a worthy opponent !
Now do you understand?
I like to think Morphy knew it might take 150 years for the chess world to fully appreciate the majesty of what he was doing, but he knew that Mr. Barnes would understand.
Indeed, (as Agadmator also said) it is about honour.
Perhaps Barnes' decision to not play ...Nxe4 @3:10 was the sporting act of a gentleman as well.
Tal head: When making tal moves
Morphy Head: When developing super fast
Barnes head: When attacking like a mad man

1:00 "Morphy of course fights for the center, but also for honor"
Well spoken.
"especially not in 1858. In 1858, no way you do this." *shakes head somberly*
Before this saga I'd never heard of him. Now I'm a big fan of Mr Barnes. He's awesome.
I never thought Morphy in his prime could lose with the white pieces. Barnes is just a monster 👏
I think he is a little before his prime still
Morphy can lost a few game for match or he could be ill,drank,sleepless or reckless. But indeed if he wants to win a game No one can stop Morphy, not even Magnus.
I never bought merch from a TH-camr, but his Barnes guy could change that.
There's now a Mr Barnes t-shirt. Just saying.
So early to say I'm becoming a Barnes fan overloading morphy...
"I sacrife my rook cos that's how I roll because I'm paul charles morphy"... Classic adag...
imagine if Morphy and Barnes knew we would be drooling over their matches 162 years after...
now 164
Me after using this opening multiple times: "It's not about winning or losing; it's about having fun."
Also me: _CRIES IN -600 RATING POINTS_
🤣😂😂😂
same haha
lmao
Playing the King's Evans always makes you the winner. I prescribe a diet of more romantic era chess until you forget about the irrelevance that is one's rating.
It's surprising how good some 600s are. On good days I'm beating 1200 players and other days I'm losing to 650s. It's crazy and annoying 😭
6:55 "Barnes says 'I do not want to see h5 on the board'... so he plays h5."

Yeah! I love his sense of humour. hehehe
"I'm Paul Morphy. That's how I roll." Classic.
6:58 "He does not want to see h5 on the board, so he plays h5"
@it was in this positionerino agadmatorino
Signed.
He meant by black
Yes, first one to c5 wins ;)
@@RameshG-nj4by lol i know but if you are just listening its funny
For those of you who spotted h5 congratulations - you are an excellent meme'er of memes
Barnes can win against morphy by playing f6 on move one!!
But misses two crushing moves in a better position!!
He is obviously a mad man.
An inspiration to us all.
U r sexy
Yes.good.point.
That was not crushing agad is wrong
@@gurpalsingh4576 you are cringy
I'm a simple man, I see mister Barnes, I click
yep
No doubt. This game was fascinating tactical battle IMO. I am weak at chess, but that's how I saw it.
Let us just appreciate Barnes's impeccable endgame technique
Following this channel since 2 years but still missed that simple "shame on you" move😂😂
I can’t imagine Barnes missed Nxe4-it just seems crazy to me that someone at Barnes’ level could overlook such a tactic. Maybe Barnes saw that Morphy could relieve tension by trading the Queen for Knight+Rook, and thought this would be letting Morphy off too easy? Either way, very strange!
i think he just wanted to have fun like morphy giving up the xchange. no huge prizes back then
My feeling is he didn't want to go into a line where it would take a long time of playing accurately to win. I think he decided to try to keep improving positionally.
Maybe he was just playing for attrition until the late game? He was ahead and could more easily choose his trades, I'm guessing he was just cautious.
You don't find what you are not looking for.
It seems Morphy got into Barnes’ head with previous games, and he wanted to play it safe. He missed the winning tactic but he kept his cool in the end and was able to win the game nicely! Nice end game skills too!
Barnes has an actually amazing early game that he always blunders away
Why are all of agadmator’s video titles so good🤣🤣
This one is especially good
"Congratulations to everyone who played anything other than g2"
Me, who played Bg2, *You know i am something of a Grandmaster myself*
whats a Bg2?
@@unnomartycarpio8977 Bishop to g2 square
Never thought I would enjoy so much seen morphy lose!
Learning about how great players of the past played with funny comments it's really enjoyable. And if it wasn't for you, Agad, I (and probably many people) wouldn't know about how these great people played
Shame on your logic. You should focus on Barnes win.
@@hideentity1518 Yes, credit to Barnes indeed! This game also shows the well-thought and extraordinary moves you'd have to play to defeat someone like Morphy.
I agree with you two, I said I enjoyed it. I just meant I didn't expect it
@@ra99nano21 Yeah I can understand. No-one could have expected that, it is Morphy after all. Anyway I agree with you too, these chess videos are truly a blessing for us who wouldn't otherwise know of these things.
@@adarshmohapatra5058 Barnes game play at this match is extraordinary. Barnes known as attacker and see nothing but that, its like he think if he win a piece and lose two, he win. But this match shows the side what happened if he take it seriously.
I legit cheered when Barnes won. What a pit-viper of a player.
I bet u play 1.) D4
I can't wait to see half of this video in the next Agadmator's Best Moments. "I'm Paul Morphy, that's how I roll."
I like Barnes more than Morphy. Such an interesting and wild style of play
Me too!
Crazy
Still, Morphy 19 wins vs Barnes 8 wins!!! Barnes, though, had the best negative score vs Morphy. Barnes had the happy fortune of having the best record against Morphy during the latter's visit, winning eight games and losing nineteen.
@@theUroshman it's awesome seeing a clash of styles very nice early example of positional vs tactical chesd
I think tal is the re incarnation of Barnes this guy is a firece attacker
Barnes : I dont wanna see h5 on the board.
Also Barnes : plays h5
One of the most intense brawls of all time! This truly is the good stuff
“Find the move while the video is paused”
Me - G2 seems ok
“For those of you whose chose G2 shame on you”
Me- 😭
Amazing. Here we are watching these chess games played 162 years ago, and then without missing a beat we see contemporary games played yesterday. Shaking hands across the 20th century.
Question of the day
Why Tal is black and white?
Up you go so agad sees this
Cause he rules the chess board both black and white
Because color photos wasn't invented yet.. xD
@@KM-fl5jq bruh what do you mean tal is from 20 century not 16
who are you playing tomorrow, I dunno, I have the white pieces so I'm playing against the black pieces
"For those of you who decided to play g2, shame on you !" 😂
Never felt so embarrassed 🙄
I also found the same move😂😂
No I knew it immediately the bishop move.well to be honest it's most logical in this position
This is why I don't win
I played pawn to A5.
"morphy fights for the center, but also for the honor" best sentence of this channel so far
8:50 "because huh, I'm Paul Morphy, that's how I roll". (puts sunglasses on)
These Barnes v Morphy games are some of the funnest games I've seen in a long time.
1:07 won't d4 be an illegal move as it is pinned after Bishop captures the pawn
no, it's a king sacrifice
he didn’t mean immediately, you play c3 first like in the Evans gambit
@UCSo6H4NZ9WE1MOjxroQahIw I dont know much about the evan's gambit as an opening but I think if you play Ba5, the bishop would have little influence on the center so I think that is what the opening wants to happen.
Was just about to comment the same thing, but yeah c3 was implied
Agadmator could’ve been more specific here
This is the best part of my day
Unbelievable games between these two. Thanks for posting these!!!
I cant even start to express how Happy I am to have discovered your channel. It's so great how you do it 👏👏👏
Morphy was like a King who wants to always win the war and protect his kingdom.
Barnes was like a warrior who wants to fight for the kingdom and die with glory.
Well I immediately knew the bishop move when you said feel free to pause the video. Whew! What a slugfest.for the first time I wanted Barnes to win.i also want a Barnes and Morphy T-Shirt with the chess board
These Barnes games are absolutely fantastic. So much fun to watch!
I totally love this Morphy vs Barnes series
I tried to analyze one game and it was only then I realized how difficult it is for you keep us entertained by your analysis ...
Tons of respect for that
Enjoying this Morphy saga! Thank you, agadmator.
Glad to be back on the good stuff
Excellent commentary on amazing matches...
I liked the video before even watching it...I'm an excellent subscriber Antonio!
Looking good bud, digging the new set up
Agadmator and Barnes: "Ha! The perfect opening doesn't exi.."
Morphy: *Hold my Knight*
hold my b4 pawn 😂
I'm not normally one for buying TH-cam merch but I will if the Barnes t-shirts have 'one crazy dude' printed below his image.
Nice game. Superb analyzed.

This video is not on the Morphy Saga playlist as far as I can tell. Generally, the playlist is pretty messed up with the same video appearing multiple times etc... This is my first comment on one of these videos, so I feel obliged to add that I adore your videos. Thank you so much for many great hours of chess!
I love your analysis, its like a journey inside a GM head.
3:40 "That's also for those of you who just want to enjoy the show" You almost forgot 90% of us who follow you.
Thanks for the good stuff.
Wow, really awesome game, and really good stuff
After the couple of seconds I thought about the same idea than Barnes with the bishop.
It just seems nice, I think it's because it forces your opponent to react to your moves. In comparison, playing the knight doesn't force Morphy to capture it.
Me:The only question I want to ask Barnes, "Man what did you drink"?
Barnes:Try and figure it out.
This man is truly legend.
I been watching you since I found you.. YOU are GREAT man. that's Antonio..
The first time king's Evans Morphy never ceases to amaze
Fascinating about the incredible Barnes, is beside him dying from a far to strict diet, is that he only participated in one tournament where he ended in the middle of the field
Has anyone else noticed that the latest video no longer shows up under the "Home" or "Chess Daily Videos" links? You have to click on "Videos" to see it.
The Barnes videos are a nice and entertaining surprise. The book "The Exploits and Triumphs, in Europe, of Paul Morphy, the Chess Champion" by Frederick Milnes Edge does not do justice to these games and to Mr. Barnes' abilities (at least I didn't find that it did). So kudos Agadmator for bringing these games to life.
You make awesome videos! And your setup is top of the class! Kind regards
Thomas from Denmark
Thanks Thomas!
@@agadmator Who is the greatest chess player ever, in your opinion?
I appreciate you agadmator from Georgia♥️🇬🇪
I find it absolutely marvellous that each passed pawn of Barnes's exploited the same weakness he would have had if he went for the g2 move - his pawns promote on BLACK squares! There's no way Morphy would have had time to fix deal with the two of them all at once!
What beauty are these games!
I need a tank top with this pic of Barnes on it. He's up to his old tricks again here, love it.
Badass Barnes ! Great mustache and great attacker. Beautiful. Thanks
Thank you for this wonderful saga! This is the first time that we witness a victory from Mr. Barnes, right?
Imagine when we get the tshirt and people in the bar and library ask about who is the man in your t-shirt.Lovely
(@4:00 I'm thinking maybe Barnes saw until this point and feared that Bxf7+, King takes and Rf1+ . Didn't double check with a module and probably it doesn't achieve much, but it's a risky variation, which we know Barnes to have avoided in the past)
