4:58 : Mato : "Would you ever consider moves like this?". Sadly, no. I'm never going to get to that level. Great to watch people who do though! Thanks Mato.
Fascinating! (I realized he was going to RESIGN in two moves) I am thankful to the publicly friendly approach of how to display chess. (There are some pretty weird chesschanels out there) Thx Mato!
I've had some of these games at my level. Mainly below elo 1200. To just "sit and develop" while the pawns are eating away on the knight especially is stomach-turning. What helps is to focus on the other guys pieces remain on the back rank. But most good players don't fall for the trap.
I love this guy, not only does he know chess but he makes me laugh my ass off. Reminds me of my uncle Bruno IM in Mendoza Argentina and best friend to Miguel Najdorf. Too sad my uncle passed away in Houston Texas in 2015 November, so many memorable chess games we played and Mato you remind me of him! What I would give to play like that again...... Also Miguel Quinteros is another friend of these guys, very aggressive chess player. Mato, any games from him?....
I saw the bishops role on e5 but didnt capture the right order to remove the threat :D thought Be5 was enough from start but the black bishop exchange is important first to do! nice game I specially liked the knight sacrifice at the beginning in exchange for development and tempo that was impressive
+Tony JK They can; but then they'll lose their queen anyway. Plus, it doesn't really solve anything, the king would be in a vulnerable spot there as well, since there aren't any pawns to help defend on that side.
Tony JK No problem! Just in case you weren't sure, the only time you can't castle is if the king is in check, or if one of the squares between the king and rook are covered by another piece (for example, if the queen was on g5 at 4:40, then black couldn't castle, because the queen would be pointing at g8). In all other cases, even if the rook is being attacked, you're allowed to castle. Hope that helps!
In some matches I lost a piece in the beggining too, but in my case is because I don't stay focused. Perhaps my opponent think, wow, he has a big plan?? haha
he's one of my favorites... have you ever checked out rashid nezhmetdinov, or Charousek ? .they have this incredible virtuosity that remind me of the unique genius unfolding in a person... like Morphy.
After 9.Bxf4, the position seems hilariously bad for Black: White has a strong center with 3 developed pieces and K safety, while Black is totally backward. Except Black is up a piece. Engine says Black is better; can you believe it? Perhaps a stronger opponent could have shown Morphy's N sacrifice to be unsound? - By the way, Engine says that 13.Re1 (after which "Black couldn't find a good move") was actually a mistake, lowering White's advantage; Black's good move is Kf8 (more than Kd8) followed by some chances to exchange and/or develop pieces, although not easy.
well, we're all guilty of playing devils advocate. so im guilty. man, i love to see paul morphy at his best in his time, play mikhail tal of his time and at his best. i quickly dismiss hearing paul morphy couldnt handle tals time or even modern times. another quickly from me is how fast i think paul morphy would adapt. but hey, some say muhammed ali at his best would have killed marciano and joe louis. but whats also said is modern man could not build the egyptian pyramids today. take your pick. chess too can span time.
Only 1870s kids will remember this.
Thanks for video..Morphy games are amazing.. Morphy develop pieces speedly.
4:58 : Mato : "Would you ever consider moves like this?".
Sadly, no. I'm never going to get to that level. Great to watch people who do though! Thanks Mato.
Morphy is the Pele of chess, he not only wins he does it with style. Thanks for the video Mato
I couldn't even guess Paul Morphy's next move at the pauses ! He was always 3 to 4 steps ahead !!!! Just Awesome!
TY for sharing this video ! 😁🖒
Me watching Morphy games: He messed it up, he messed it up... mate in two.
Another great video of an incredible match, thank you and keep it up !
4:58) Would I ever consider a move like this? Not likely, as I stopped playing the "King's Gambit" years ago.
awesome, as usual !!! 10x, Mato !
with morphy everything looks simple ....
Omg that "just kidding" at the start was BRILLIANT!
I love you Mato!
I love these games where a super grandmaster like Paul Murphy plays white against an amateur, they don't stand a chance and it's always a slaughter
Wonderful
best game. morphy is the best player to think more moves ahead. great morphy. thanks.
Fascinating! (I realized he was going to RESIGN in two moves) I am thankful to the publicly friendly approach of how to display chess. (There are some pretty weird chesschanels out there) Thx Mato!
I have seen Bobby Fisher play a similar defection move.
Great game! Thanks!
Oh, my, god ... DISMANTLED!
Matoo.. thanks for all these games..
God bless you sir
Considering that he died in 1884, winning in 1886 would be a stupendous feat! :)
4:31 Pawn takes pawn, even if black responds with Qe6 instead, black is lost in all variations isn't it.
"ugh.. I think there's a mistake.. STOP... H E L PPPPP" the knights last words.
i love paul morphy game play=)
Gorgeous game

Hello Mato ! nice vid , have a good day ! :D
Morphy, my favorite player
Hi Mato,
Greetings from India. Please could you analyze and upload some of Mir Sultan Khan's matches. Thanks in advance
great video small correction at 0:16 you said its 1866 but the name is 1886!
+nikhil monarch Thanks
+nikhil monarch I agree great video but one small correction Paul Morphy died on July 10, 1884 not sure how he won in 1886!
I was sooo drunk in 1866 - someone even had to remind me, that it wasn't 1866 at all...
Fascinating!
mato, please make a channel for marshal attack,,
There are no words for Morphy's brilliance.
At 4:40 why can't black king castle?
+Tony JK They can; but then they'll lose their queen anyway. Plus, it doesn't really solve anything, the king would be in a vulnerable spot there as well, since there aren't any pawns to help defend on that side.
+leerobbo92 Yeah I figured that too... But I was wondering why MatoJelic didn't mention it... Thanks for commenting tho! :)
Tony JK No problem! Just in case you weren't sure, the only time you can't castle is if the king is in check, or if one of the squares between the king and rook are covered by another piece (for example, if the queen was on g5 at 4:40, then black couldn't castle, because the queen would be pointing at g8). In all other cases, even if the rook is being attacked, you're allowed to castle. Hope that helps!
Yes i remember , in 1866 , i was -97 years old ...
Legendary move..
In some matches I lost a piece in the beggining too, but in my case is because I don't stay focused. Perhaps my opponent think, wow, he has a big plan?? haha
Morphy , what an amazing Mind....
+gratitude62 the greatest ever.
he's one of my favorites... have you ever checked out rashid nezhmetdinov, or Charousek ? .they have this incredible virtuosity that remind me of the unique genius unfolding in a person... like Morphy.
I wish Tal and Morphy met😭
I agree with Robert James Fischer that no one was more talented that Morphy
***** Morphy did 10 blindfold games at a time and said that he thought that he could handle 20 though he never tried it.
rob sol That's funny, because Magnus Carlsen have done the same thing and even said the same thing :D
SanderAllstar two amazing chess players.
rob sol True
Thnx Mato
Well,mato sir, I would like to point out a mistake if you don't mind. The caption says 1886. It should be 1866. Morphy passed away in 1884.
The greatest chess player ever !
Agreed
Morphy would have been a monster with today's knowledge base.
WWMD? should be the standard chess question to ask whenever you're stuck.
I sometimes play like this in Blitz games, not giving enough time for the correct defence.
perhaps the greatest chess imagination ever; amazing player;
Hi do U know Kidman Park Calex, Sean?
Uau, Mato! Great game!!!!!!!
I don't understand why didn't black queen checked immediately after knight sacrifice at the beginning
Well done Paul.
Osum game.
Thanks Mato...:)

a Lot of morphy games please.thank you.
What w0uld you Do??
deflections are cool, spirit of the Game
When Morphy offers a piece never take and castle
MORPHY'S GAME ARE THE BEST
If Morphy lived in our time,wow,what would we have seen...(is grammar correct by the way?!)
+George Bush no
+Lolcatification based on what?
You got the point across fcuk the grammar 😂
Ummm my great great great great great grandparents were busy with their every day life during that time.
Actually in king's gambit... black can't take knight.. other wise though he is a piece up.. game favors the white..
Nikhil Monarch, the correct is 1866!!...
not bad ever
nice game
After white plays Qxf3 what is the continuation if ...Qh4? I suppose just g3
Morphy is the king of positions
Watch my first video if you want to see the first published combination in history (from 9th century)!
Hit like you watching this in 2015.
well, we're all guilty of playing devils advocate. so im guilty. man, i love to see paul morphy at his best in his time, play mikhail tal of his time and at his best. i quickly dismiss hearing paul morphy couldnt handle tals time or even modern times. another quickly from me is how fast i think paul morphy would adapt. but hey, some say muhammed ali at his best would have killed marciano and joe louis. but whats also said is modern man could not build the egyptian pyramids today. take your pick. chess too can span time.
Gave him the Pimp Hand. Dirty.
Morphy could not play this game in 1866 or 1886 because he retired from chess in 1860 and he has died in 1884.
Tal Alekhine Morphy chess gods
Michail Tal and........... Carlsen.
if black played correctly would have won
Just kidding ;D
Anything important happen to you in 1866? Yes I wasn't born in 1866!
Second!
+Salokin92 Edit: I would never have considered such an early Knight Sac D:
