Yeah, I've learned a lot from agadmator, but mostly of a general nature. I could learn a lot more if I would play through these games a few times and really get up to speed on what happened.
This reminds me of those cartoons where one character keeps returning for each fight more injured and bandaged than before. Like by now Harrwitz would be in a wheelchair with one leg propped up, an IV tube, an oxygen mask, an eye patch, and half his body wrapped in gauze.

This has to be one of my favourite Morphy versus Harrwitz games! Threatened mate on move 6. Battery on 7 and 8. By move 10 the king was already running. Agad's announcement *As of move 11 we have a completely new game* Really relentless hammering against black, loved every moment of it.
1 franc in 1858 was the equivalent of 0.29 grams of gold. That was during the reign of Napoleon III. So 295 francs gives us almost US$ 5,000 based on the gold price today. But that is based on gold which is the only consistent commodity for reference during this entire time. If it was fiat currency it would probably be worth much more.
@@rahulkhanduri2471 Unfortunately that doesnt work because the commodity prices of the materials to manufacture goods also varies a lot over time and are geographically dispersed in terms of demand/supply. For example, a pair of jeans in US was (and still is) much cheaper in 1890 than in France. But red wine has always been cheaper in France until California became a massive producer of it. Even within Europe prices fluctuate a lot based on the region they are from. The price of copper, for example, was always low until global telecommunications really started to pick up the pace in the 90s.
@@rahulkhanduri2471 Yes but they are not consistent over time. Some might even have disappeared completely. Plastic was not available until the 1950s. Gold is the only commodity used during both periods that was used to back government printed money. Hence the calculation.
And also the price of most things has been falling relative to wages. Food for instance with all tecnological advancements. It’s hard to say how much exactly this was, but it seems to me that gold did a good job there. It wasn’t a huge sum, but it was at least a few months of wages for an average worker.
@@ld238 100 francs back then was around 30 grams of gold, so for 300 francs you have 90 grams of gold. Today 1g of gold is 60$ so we come to amount of 5400$
How did you get to this result? I can't get any number for french inflation before 1900. Even then, it would be probably be something like 110 000€, I think
@@roflol100 Exactly. Assuming that the gold prize is an indicator for inflation. Which is maybe a bit questionable. That's why I cautiously would say: 295F of 1858 is equivalent to a few 1000$ from 2021.
Harrwitz played this game like a beaten man. Despite what he said, Harrwitz seemed to have no more will to compete against Morphy. Morphy just controlled this game in such a devastating manner. This one musta really stung.
Yeah, this was surprising. Harrwitz may not be as good as Morphy, but he usually plays much better than I do. In this game, Morphy already had a huge advantage by move 8 just by playing the sort of moves a 1300-level player could find.
Man I was having a headache so I went for a cup a coffee to relax and try and feel a little better. So I come back to my room and there is this vid recently uploaded, the perfect company for my coffee. Thanks Agad!
I like the old setup better. When you're telling the backstory of the people I like to look at the pictures of them to get a better idea to visualize it. Love the content either way. Watch every video!
A little bit of searching suggests that there is no good data for inflation in France from 1858. However, the dollar inflation since then is approximately 31 times; that is that $1 in 1858 would buy $31 of goods today. So you could use that as an approximate rule of thumb, making the value of 1,500 Francs approximately the equivalent of 46,500 Francs today, however the Franc was exchanged for the Euro at a rate of 6.55 making the 46,500 worth about 7,100 Euro. Alternatively we could use the fact that the Franc was made containing 0.29g gold, giving a total value of 435g of gold. Gold is currently worth around $57/g, which translates to around 47 Euro/g. So using the value of the gold within the coins the 1,500 Francs would be worth in the region of 20,450 Euro. Another method would be to compare things like wages, rent and food costs. According to wikipedia for the average French citizen in Paris a daily wage would be 3.25-6 Francs, food 1 Franc and lodgings 75 Centimes (daily). For the sake of simplicity we will assume that working hours are the same as they are now (they would have been longer in 1858) and that based off the French minimum wage the standard worker earns 80 Euro/day. Using the salary comparison, and taking 5 Francs as the standard wage, 1,500 Francs is the equivalent of 24,000 Euro today. It seems that without access to better historical data for the inflation rates within France we will be unable to come up with any precise figure, but either way it was not an insignificant sum of money.
I also check this channel ONLY for Morphy Saga. Don't care much of the recent chess matches, they're inferior imo. Hope Aga would upload the good stuff in quicker pace though...
Harrwitz was no Barnes! #suggestion "He wasn't in it for the money, he just wanted to crush everyone. That's the kind of guy Morphy was." I think this should the title of your biographical book on Morphy.
Random #Suggestion for the channel: I love the videos and sometimes have the video running while gaming, or sometimes just get distracted and find myself drawn to the screen based on commentary, watching a series of moves, not knowing whether they are the actual moves played, or one of the side explorations. The suggestion is to perhaps have some kind of colored border around the chess board, or a banner, or something visible, indicating when theoretical side sequences are being explored. Even sometimes having the volume low, it can be easy to lose track of what is going on when moves are happening/undoing etc. Love the channel! Cheers
A movie should have been be made of Morphy’s trip. A younger Christian Bale would have made a good Morphy. He did such a good job playing Laurie in Little Women. Very similar looks.
Agadmator, thank you for your content. I always loved Morphy, and he led me to your channel a long time ago. But you’ve exposed me to so many players (old and modern), chess strategy, etc.... you’re like that friend in high school who showed you cool music you never knew about, but chess instead
Some document reveal that in 1850-1860, a salary is around 2 Francs per day for a simple employee, so 2000 Francs means 1000 days of working. Maybe this is a better comparison that how much it will be value today.

Hey! Great video as usual. Some time ago you asked for feedback concerning your new space with all the acoustic damping installed. This time, in contrast to previous videos, There seems to be some low frequency reverb at times, especially at the end of some sentences. A few good examples: 1:29 "...most of you **KNOW** 1:31 "...Morphy continues with d captures on **E5** 1:51 "**SO INSTEAD** you **CAN'T** capture back..." Also, your microphone seems to "cut" all the sound if the volume is under a certain threshold. Due to the aforementioned constant small reverb, it is even more striking, and I found myself double-checking if it wasn't due to double-takes and splicing of two different bits of video together (which AFAIK you never do). You can hear it clearly here: 6:20 "...will come handy later in the game----. Queen to e6..." 6:33 "...then Queen to c3 and Horrowitz wins ---------- there is no way to prevent a loss here..." 7:20 "...wreak havoc along the H file----" 7:58 "...lose this terribly -------- so instead f6 check..." It's nothing massive or anything, it's just that I think in your previous place these issues weren't there and you asked for opinions so here's one :) Hope it helps! Cheers!
Loving the new intro agad bro👊 Not only we get another dose of the good stuff, but we also get to see the Antonio Radic in 60fps at the beginning of the video.
Agadmator please can you do a Karpov series?! I'd love to see his progression from beginner to the most active world champion in the history of the game.
295 francs was 85 grams of gold back then, today that's worth about $5,000 US. Alternatively, I found an economics study that quoted the nominal daily wage for a craftsman in France in 1850-1859 as between 2.0 and 2.5 francs; 295 frances therefore represents something like 6 months wages for a craftsman (and more like a year for a labourer). 6 months at French minimum wage today is ~9,000 euros; 3 months at average wage is about the same. That's about $11,000 USD.
*AGADMATOR i got you answer here* You convert the Franks to the value of gold in 1858 which is $20 American per troy ounce. So one Frank can buy you one ounce of gold. The coins at the time were made from gold so it is almost a straight conversion. *US dollar value = $20 US times this by 295 Franks = $5900 US then using a inflation calculator, calculating from 1858 to 2021 = $190.600 in 2021.* *Gold value = one ounce is $1820 times times this by 295 frank gold coins and you get $536,900 in American dollars today.* In all honesty I think the gold conversion is the most accurate. $500,000 if you figure in the gold value of the frank coins, or $200,000 if you figure out the value of the US dollar.

I know PM didn't have the contemporary theory but he slaughters so easily. So natural. I think he is as close to an AI, humans may ever produce!!
amazing game by Morphy
"He wasn't in it for the money, he just wanted to crush everyone" Yeah boi!
Morphy is not like Superman, they made Superman with Mr. Morphy as idol.
More Morphy. Thank you Morpy the great. Thats the good stuff.
morphy saga is my favorite series
Harwitz - it doesn't take much trouble to defeat this fellow
and so read his grave
@4:40 and it is at this time that we first hear the phrase "morphy really slow playing this"
Thanks buddy.
Love the new Morphy thumbnail picture!!
Option 1 : play Morphy and enter History
Option 2 : play Morphy and enter History as a dirty double-crossing and sneaky ...
😂😂😂 "It was said that strange things happened in that simultaneous exhibition." This Daniel Harwitz is an interesting guyyyy. Lol
The sound absorbing foams are amazing.
thank you for this video antonio
"but again he took a break, and morphy again.. has to deal with it." -ags
Morphy's life can be a netflix series
295 francs was 85 grams of gold back then, today that's worth about $5,000 US.
Alternatively, I found an economics study that quoted the nominal daily wage for a craftsman in France in 1850-1859 as between 2.0 and 2.5 francs; 295 frances therefore represents something like 6 months wages for a craftsman (and more like a year for a labourer). 6 months at French minimum wage today is ~9,000 euros; 3 months at average wage is about the same. That's about $11,000 USD.
Antonio is the kind of person that when makes money focuses and invest to innovate and offer a better product. Congrats!

*AGADMATOR i got you answer here*
You convert the Franks to the value of gold in 1858 which is $20 American per troy ounce. So one Frank can buy you one ounce of gold. The coins at the time were made from gold so it is almost a straight conversion.
*US dollar value = $20 US times this by 295 Franks = $5900 US then using a inflation calculator, calculating from 1858 to 2021 = $190.600 in 2021.*
*Gold value = one ounce is $1820 times times this by 295 frank gold coins and you get $536,900 in American dollars today.*
In all honesty I think the gold conversion is the most accurate.
$500,000 if you figure in the gold value of the frank coins, or $200,000 if you figure out the value of the US dollar.
