- Paul Morphy's Opera Game is one of the greatest chess games of all time. Playing two amateurs, the Duke of Brunswick and Count Isouard, Morphy sacrifices nearly all of his chess pieces to achieve a famous and spectacular checkmate. In this video, we explain every move for chess beginners.

I will use these moves on my grandson.
Not thrilled by the choice of board. I am not hating on the video for it, but I find 2d boards much easier to understand because there are no blocked lines of sight. Despite that, thank you for analyzing this amazing game.
Sam, you produce the best chess videos. Clear, interesting, humorous without the silly prima Donna features. I’m a terrible chess player, never being able to reason well enough to see ahead. Your explanations are clear and engaging. Please continue to produce beginner videos like this.
I enjoyed this very much. I graduated from Spring Hill College in 1980 where Paul Morphy graduated many years earlier and had the chance at 12 to be one of many hundreds of fans who played Bobby Fisher in a giant simultaneous chess match with something like 50 or 100 tables in Daley plaza. I lasted 29 moves and he asked how old I was. When I told him 12 he said I should definitely keep playing and work on my defense. Finding the statue dedicated to Paul Morphy in college was a delightful surprise. As was his constant references in Queen’s Gambit on Netflix.
This was very will explain med and I applaud you for doing this because like Bobby Fisher’s appearance I think the movie has stimulated a lot of interest in chess in both young men and women. Chess notation is fine, but this kind of illustration is much more palatable for young people. Please keep it up!
Really enjoyed reading this comment very interesting 👏
Keep making these Sam, very instructive as a beginning chess player
new subscriber... i walked away from chess years ago... just now playing some for fun... the game consumed me, i had to leave... just 3 years after i learned the game i was 2000 rated... but to much chess, i burned out.. i was the president of 3 local chess clubs, a chess teacher at bowling green christian academy 4th-8th grade.. won the ky state team middle school championship... i was playing or teaching or studying chess 12 hours a day... i had to walk away.. i have regretted doing that ever since... so after 13 years away i am back to play for fun.. i can tell its been forever.. i was 2185 rated and now after 20 games online my online rating is 1800 lol
Great video Sam! Don't know how I missed it for so long. Only wish you had gone with the two dimensional board. But I love reviewing this game every so often.
This is just what I need. Having moves explained and pausing so i can figure out the best move. Glad I found this channel
Like the way you explain the game. Slow down just a little and use 2D board would help us old people.
Great content! If I'm not mistaken, this checkmate pattern is known as the Opera mate. The Morphy mate is a bishop on f6, rook on g1, and enemy king on h8 with enemy pawn on h7. I wonder if the Morphy mate also comes from one of Morphy's games.
Thanks Sam Even as a bit more of an intermediate Patzer this was a great video and I enjoyed your clear explanation.
Amazing commentary, thanks for this playlist
came here from the stockfish's rook sacrifice video
Me too.
Same.
This is SO HELPFUL to a beginner like myself in Chess. I love seeing how the tactics are explained so I can learn why a move is good or bad. Thank You!
I kind of like the 3D board for the variety but I appear to be outvoted. A great deal of chess is visualization and the 3D forces you to ‘see’ the pieces a bit differently.
Nice to see you covering this classic game. It’s important not only for instructional and entertainment purposes but part of chess’ rich history. I’ll be looking for more!
Dear sir, your present session on the most famous opera checkmate is of absorbing interst because of your clearly analytical commentry explaining chess terms, strategy and theme of attack. Looking forward for such studious video series in future. Thanks. Dmbhangaonkar
Excellent commentary. Appreciated.
Thanks a lot for this instructive video
Thanks so much, it's about the vision I'm trying to learn...
Pity Sam stopped making videos, this is very nice
Thank you Sam, very clearly explained.
Nice! Good idea
Maybe a 2d board?
You guys making these kind of videos should really make a short animation at the end (without even needing to comment) that recap the whole game from the start with like one move every 2 sec. I would really benefit from that I feel. Anyone else agrees?
amazing!!! clear and precise explanation
Totally worth a sub.
Another great video to learn and comprehend from. Thanks Sam.
Subscribed!
Very good explained. Keep them coming!
im a grand master and i still enjoyed this video very clear and great game to choose
Beautiful
Keep going Sir
very instructive but thumbs down for 3d board...
Yea flip it
Yeah, go with the traditional 2-D set up. This is weird.
Excellent video!
great!
I have a naive question.... Who at the time in 1858 was recording these moves ? Was someone following Morphy in Europe and recording and publishing all his games ?
Here's my take on Morphy's Opera Game:
th-cam.com/video/xxFlm2XrIq4/w-d-xo.html
Great video, I also learned something :)
ok well presented
Love the game board presentation. Great explanation and techniques. Appreciate your hard work
how do you get this point of view from? really appreciate anyones reply
What website is he playing this game on
what program is this? i can play whit this 3d board
11:57 wouldn't taking with the queen still have been better. Yeah, Black loses the queen for a rook, but Black was already up a rook before losing back the exchange on the previous move, so it would end up with Black having a rook and a knight for a queen, with no immediate mating threats.
overall, delays the inevitable. after black plays QxB, white can insert Qb8+, followed with Qxe5+, instead of recapturing blacks Q right away. after the smoke clears black would end up losing his R on h8 (white would play bishop takes knight, to open up a path to it). In the end, it would be white with queen (and army of pawns), and black with a bishop and a few scattered pawns. overwhelming material advantage for white.
2 factors to consider are that they missed the Q sac on b8, afterwards, to spot the mate. Q sacs come as a big surprise when they are dropped and players have trouble spotting opponents lines for them, and 2) greed. Amateur place too much value on their queens and will try hold on to them at a great cost.
3D board !!! it looks pretty good!
After Bg5 why didn't black play h6 and and g5, then play Bg7 and castle.
After h6 white can play Bxf6 gxf6 (not Qxf6 as you need to cover b7) and long castle maintaining the winning position that was a result of Nf6.
I feel so dumb
For online viewing, I absolutely hate the 3D board. Not a great idea in my opinion 👎👎👎
hey sweet video! I just made a video about The Opera Game also it would be cool if you checked it out! 😈
