    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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    #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.

    Hey Mr. Antonio. I have been following you from quite a long time. You have changed your way of putting intro in the video after shifting. I am not a photographer or any specialist on this kind of stuff but I think you former way of intro (not a closeup of camera on your face) was more cool. I think closeup on face is used mostly to show any kind of emotion on the face.
    After intro the view of camera along with background of smileys makes it good looking as well.
    Hope you will consider it to have a look on that.
    Thumbs Up from INDIA.👍👍
