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.

Morphy watching us from the other realm: *People in 21st century think we didn't have engines back then*
More like Morphy: Engines in 21st century seem like promising opponents (at 3500 elo)..
Andersson would have seen it.
Morphy was the codename for the 1.0 version of the engine. Version 2.0 was called Capablanca.
Curiously, back in those days some people would cheat with engines... but in the other direction! In other words, they pretended that they had a chess-playing automaton, which in fact had a human player inside making the moves. Some were rather elaborate, like the Turk, which could be opened and it appeared like there was only gears and machinery inside, as the human was cleverly hidden in a way that looked like there was no room for anybody there.
@@DjVortex-w that's right. there was a very small-statured person who was a competent chess-player hidden in the fake clockwork!
8:16 Very Unclear is the purpose of this move.
Agadmator is Yoda in disguise!
Chess writers have long since put the adjective first when discussing moves, because you want to get that out of the way before you go into a ceaseless string of letters and numbers (or in later years, with symbols and Informant glyphs too). I wish I could remember what chess author quipped "Confusing is the whole conversation" but they were not wrong.
I think the rook move was strategic to entice Morphy to trade bishops so that Boden's queen can escape.

Wonder if Agad has considered raffling a breakdown of a fan’s game. I know I would like him to do some of mine but think it would be a lot of, “As of mover 4 we have a new game because no one would ever play this losing line.“

Haha Haha 😂😂😂 same
Guilty as charged lol
“Staunton’s minions” Antonio’s way of putting things makes me crack up😂😂😂
"Stauton's Minions" sound as if Morphy was an RPG hero.
What a beautiful but also disgusting line.
I'm sure players like Caruana and Fischer could spot that line, they're very concrete players with incredible calculation abilities. Morphy was mainly a positional player, though he obviously outplayed his opponents in every aspect of the game
Morphy isn't an RPG hero, he's an anime character.
Staunton was English and in England you pronounce the 'au' sound like 'aw', this probably sounds super weird if you aren't from England but second nature if you are which is why so many people mentioned it!
dypthonges ftw
What's that in IPA?
@@jacobscrackers98 /ɔː/
Back in the 1960's when I learned chess as a teen and bought a Staunton chess set, we pronounced the name phonetically as "Stawn-ton."
yes stornton :)
Correct. I pointed this out, too. And, anyway, being English, with due respect to Antonio and his amazing command of English, we do know better than him how English surnames are pronounced. The 'au' digraph is pronounced as in 'haunt', 'jaunt', 'laud', 'Maud', 'audio', 'nautical' etc. I can't think of a single word where it is pronounced as 'ow' although there are probably examples.
@@1man1bike1road ??
@Tai Chi Tube Well that's 'oh' not 'ow' and we also have 'aah' as in 'aunt' :-) Pronouncing 'au' like 'ow' is how you would pronounce it in German ''lauf' 'maus' 'raus' etc. Strange; we have turned a chess channel into a study of English phonetics!
kuchcyk Staunton was an Englishman, and as an Englishman myself I can tell you exactly how to pronounce his name and it is indeed ‘au’ as in ‘author’.
"Staunton" is never pronounced "stownton", the "ow" as in the diphthong in the word "ouch". The "au" in "Staunton" is pronounced as in the "au" in the word "author".
Yea fuck off
You are correct unless you are talking about the town of Staunton, Virginia. That is pronounced "stanton" like the name "Stan Laurel."
3DHDcat how about you, prick face.
@@3DHDcat lmao you beat me to it
@@3DHDcat - should we fuck off to Taunton (in Somerset, England) - which rhymes with Staunton.
Multiple videos from the St Louis Chess club by different lecturers such as Erik Hansen and Dennis La Rue say the "au" like "author" in St_au_nton. As does KingsCrusher - whose dialect is the most similar to the man in question. Perhaps even more persuasively in this context is the prounciation of the chess set that takes its name after him. Search for "Staunton chess set" on TH-cam and the likes of Ancient Chess, YourMoveChessStore, Raul Galvan, Los Angeles Chess Fortress will pronounce the same way. Prounciation of Staunton in a chess context seems relatively standard and uncontroversial, and does not seem to be a UK vs US thing based on these examples.
That said, in the interests of balance, the "ow" pronunciation is likely the prounciation that would be prevalent for "Staunton, Virginia" or "Staunton National Park, Colorado". Haven't done research on it, I'm simply conceding the likelihood. I'm not aware of anyone famous from the US with the surname. Chess wise, the examples I've found of the "ow" pronunciation seem to come primarily from the non-English speaking new world, i.e. among those from outside Europe for whom English is a second language, particularly Spanish or Portuguese speakers. Now, I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese, but my guess is that the sound is simply not present in those languages, whereas it probably is either present, and/or the written combination sounds closer to the way that Staunton himself would have said it, in the likes of French and German.
My conclusion is that saying "au" like "author" is the right way to go, because it seems uncontroversial in the US, compared to the "ow" being pretty confusing to speakers from Staunton's homeland.
And finally, because this is a chess channel but you've mentioned getting into your wood - this does absolutely nothing to settle the debate but should unite everyone simply in being cool to watch (with the name not pronounced). th-cam.com/video/KUZHk1fofkA/w-d-xo.html
In the photos, Boden looks like an evil Charles Morphy.
Paul Morphy
indeed his evil twin
yeah Samuel looks way more prim and orderly. Like a person who has something to hide
Charlie Murphy?
Correct pronunciation is Staw-nton (syllable rhyming with taught or taut or tort). and yes I am English, I promise you this is correct. Apologies for the English language's silly spellings! :))
I wonder if Morphy could beat an average master from 2020 without previous theoretical preparation.
Yep Staunton as in ‘haunted’ or ‘author’. My proof? I’m an Englishman.
10:08
Come on man that hurts 😔
Yes. My self righteous indignation is off the scale.
We nearly had the Fried Liver Attack! I was so excited but then it didn't happen.
I know right!!
As a Brit, can confirm its definitely pronounced Stawn-ton with a short a sound like in Oar. St-Oar-nton.
That's the accent tho. Without the accent it's Stawnton.
It's like "haunted castle", so that makes sense.
Dan Kelly no it’s not an accent it’s proper English. It’s how the man would have said his own name.
@@iR3vil4te Then what about words in general? Which English speaking people pronounce English words properly?
@@iR3vil4te What are the proper pronunciations of Jones and Hall? What is the proper pronunciation of 'author'?
Loving these Morphy games. On Staunton pronunciation, as a native English speaker I would say the middle vowels are pronounced 'aw' , as in law.
In the UK I have only ever heard Staunton pronounced as "Stornton". The name is remembered more than the player himself because the style of chess pieces in modern use is known as the Staunton set.
History also seems to record that Staunton was essentially a coward who did his best to avoid playing Morphy who would undoubtedly have given him a sound thrashing.
Agadmator - your pronunciation is definitely wrong. In the past, many people got their surname from where they were born thus 'john from Bakewell became John Bakewell. This is called a toponymic surname. Staunton is a village near Gloucester in the UK and in the UK (which is where the word comes from) Staunton is pronounced ''stornton'. Howard Staunton's ancestors would have come from the village of Staunton. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toponymic_surname and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staunton,_near_Gloucester,_Gloucestershire
Of course, Americans incorrectly pronounce a great many English words and also we British like to confuse foreigners by spelling words in strange ways - we do this just for fun and to give people like me a job - I teach English.
"weird moves" @8:16 Agadmator said it earlier himself. "He (Boden) really enjoys trading, obviously." He wanted Morphy to capture his bishop Be3xBf4. Boden would have his queen recapture and make an escape route for his queen. But Boden underestimated Morphy and Morphy declined the Bishop. Boden was projecting his desire for trades. The rook move was not excellent. But it had reasons.
People are confusing you with non-rhotic spellings. When they say it is pronounced "stornton," what they mean is that it is pronounced the way _they_ would read "stornton." But in North America, we would not pronounce "stornton" like that at all, since we would have an r-colored vowel there.
The vowel in the middle of Staunton's name is pronounced just like the vowel in "caught." In some dialects, this is /ɑ/, which is the vowel in "cot," while in others it is /ɔ/. It is never pronounced like /aʊ/, the vowel in "now," which is how you pronounce it in this video. Basically, you are pronouncing "au" like a German would pronounce "auto," while Staunton's name should be pronounced like an Englishman would pronounce "auto."
Agadmator you really got me with the pawn d5-d6 move. It was absolutely what i was thinking.
I think words like taunt and Taunton (both first syllable rhyming with pawn) are the most direct case for Stawn-town over Stown-town.
It would be unusual for au to be pronounced "ow" in English. (To my ignorant ears that pronunciation sounds German, as in frauline.)
Also, my best guess as to the purpose of Boden's ..a5 is to prevent Morphy from getting in b4 and c5, kicking the black dark squared bishop off its juicy diagonal. I make no statement of claim as to the soundness of the idea, but that's the only thing that makes sense.
I was thinking the same thing about you pronunciation of Staunton. Those people are right agad, you’ve been pronouncing it wrong. Not that it matters much. Love the content. Keep it up!
The most common pronunciation in English for the name Staunton is indeed "STONton" not "STOWNton" but don't even worry about it. It isn't important. Also, there's are entire cities in the USA who can't agree on how to say the name - Looking at you Staunton (pronounced STANton) Virginia.
He's English, so it's closer to "Stornton".
A couple traveling in Florida enter the city of Kissimmee, FL and the wife say's "How romantic to name a city Kiss ME. " The husband says, "I think it is pronounced Kiss-ah-Me." They argue mildly about it. As it is lunch time, they stop for a bite. After they place their order the wife asks the cashier, "Excuse me, can you pronounce the name of this place?" and the Cashier says "Of course I can, it is pronounced, Burger King."
Lol.....people in Virginia being Eminem STAN
Well the man is British so it doesn't matter how an American would pronounce it. In England its pronounced ''StORnton''. Pretend you have a posh london accent and say his name in a sentence and you'll understand.
@@shazaibbiazahs I grew up about 15 miles from Staunton, Gloucestershire. This man's pronunciation is quite representative of how most folks say it.
th-cam.com/video/sK9B9BsdtoA/w-d-xo.html
'Stornton' is the phonetic way 'Staunton' is pronounced (at least in the UK). The 'au' is the same as in 'Paul'.
What a very wise way of handling that pronunciation issue. You would certainly have my vote in any elections to either European or world people's crisis cabinets! (I also like your speech!)
Agadmator will be schooling the whole of the Croatia in the ways of pawns after becoming GM.
now that is a completely new hair style that has never been repeated again
Boden did at least show some skill by castling twice this game.
His name is pronounced beau-.den because there is only one consonant (d). The original way you were pronouncing it would need "dd" instead of just "d"
Englishman checking in: the suggested pronunciation ‘Stornton’ is closer than ‘Stownton’ (which you seem to think is correct) but closer still would be ‘Stohn-tun’. It’s an elongated ‘oh’ sound like in the word ‘sawn’ or ‘dawn’. If you can say ‘dawn sun’ then use those vowel sounds in ‘Staunton’ and you’ll be there.
Morhpy considered himself a lawyer. Chess was just a hobby.

9:52 not gonna lie, I was flat-out bellowing my support for that idea. Then, I felt so attacked. But with good reason. That's why Morphy is Morphy and I'm an idiot.
You might never match Morphy's natural talent for Chess, but we can all dream of having that haircut!
@@awordabout...3061 that haircut is truly old-school classic. Calm water on the sides, roaring waves up the front.
Problem is also that Morphy was a very tiny man and I'm more like Judge Meek. Minus the judicial degree, physical fitness, money, wealth, prestige.. but I'm as bad at chess as he was :p
where's your dog? Is he ok? 27 videos into this saga I'd like to take a moment to say what an outstanding job you are doing with this material. Your presentation contains a wealth of anecdotes that always enhance and the depth and your research adds so much to what might otherwise be just a straightforward game analysis. I feel like I've been drawn into an historical mini-series on HBO.
Staunton: first syllable rhymes with 'dawn', the emphasis is on the first syllable and like 'dawn' it is a little drawn out. Second syllable is as 'ton': clipped, short
It's a common name in Ireland, originally English

The "AU" vowel combination is usually pronounced with the short "O" sound, such as in the words "LAUNCH", "STAUNCH", "HAUNCH", "TAUNT", etc. While names often deviate from usual grammatical rules governing pronunciation, it seems likely, in this case, that Staunton does not.
Tai Chi Tube the proof is also just to ask someone who’s English how to say it, and it’s Stornton, as this guy says.
Tai Chi Tube stop being so unnecessarily difficult. It’s Stornton, just accept it.
Tai Chi Tube don’t tell me how to pronounce my own language, or try and tell me that Google Translate has greater authority to tell me how to pronounce English than a fucking Oxford education. It doesn’t matter how some stupid town in America pronounces it, or how the exact pronunciation might differ regionally. Unless you’re planning to speak English entirely in a Yorkshire or Welsh accent I suggest you learn how to pronounce it in the Queen’s English, which any idiot who lives in the British Isles will tell you pronounces it STORNTON.
@Tai Chi Tube Staunton is pronounced the same way you would pronounce staunch. Or as you would pronounce Taunton. And I am from the north of England. I'm not sure what more proof would be required, and I really do not mind if agad pronounces it differently, because he is not a native English speaker and so it is easy to let such things slide.

Rook g3 in this position vs Morphy = *monkaS* “What could he be planning?”
7... e4 8. dxe4?! isn't quite as bad as you might think - Victor Korchnoi tried it in a famous game once, I believe in an Olympiad or Team Championship of some sort.
Agadmator: Staunton - "au" in this case is pronounced like "4". English town Taunton also pronounced like that. Love your channel.
At 7:10 when you told boden's idea about his king it reminds me ding's king run vs carlsen in that match ding was awasome and in beast mode also
How did Morphy become so good? Here's my theory: In 1858, Tesla was an infant living in modern-day Croatia. Maybe he had already invented the internet and a chess engine. Morphy could have been learning by watching his TH-cam channel, which probably featured a blurry dog in one frame per second.
Good game as always😉
Morphy's games are like invention of zero. The very simplicity of this invention eludes the unimaginable ease in calculations. Morphy's games look so simple like zero.
Aunt = "Ont"
Fault = "Folt"
Launch = "Lonch"
Laundry = "Londry"
August = "Ogust"
Audio = "Odio"
-> Staunt = "Stont"
"au" is read as "o"
Yeah, so why do people say it's storntn? Where would the "r" come from?
1:13 also the Traxler Counter Attack is good, aalthough you wouldn't play it against Morphy
I love watching these vids cause i didnt see for example how pushing the pawn could do anything good for the white ,but that rook sacrifice was just awesome,even better than attacking that queen even tho that move was also ootw...Morphy was a true artist!
First time I got not just the move but the entire line correct, and it was the disgusting line and the d7 move. Really feeling proud of myself :D
Really Poor choice of word 'Disgusting' as it should really be 'Beautiful line' which is really hard to find. Or 'maybe..maybe..' Agadmator has something against Engines.!!! Either way, please don't say disgusting, as GMs are also able to find these lines time-to-time.

The pronunciation that you had never heard before is the correct one. However, you are speaking in a second language. Your English is excellent. Your pronunciation is generally very good. :)
@agadmator too little to late here but Staunton in English (depending on the dialect) is pronounced "stawn'n" where the "-nt-" in "Staunton" is a not pronounced as an "nt" but rather a glottal stop (represented by the apostrophe, like in "Hawai'i" ). Not that this really matters much for communicating. The most important thing is that "stau-" is pronounced "staw-" (like "straw" or "draw").
actually its pronounced this way : de.howtopronounce.com/howard-staunton
::schooled in the ways of the rook:: HILARIOUS LINE
i am assuming it is named fater the english town. Search Results
Staunton, near Coleford, Gloucestershire. Being from england i have never known this to be pronounced stownton... i have always known it as 'stornton'.
10:44 - OK, I'm probably being super dumb, but what if PxP is answered with RxP? I can't see how this is resolved without a mass exchange that leaves black with two passed pawns.
I know how to pronounce Staunton properly (stornton) because A) I'm British and it's a British word, B) There's a town in the UK called Taunton which is pronounced Tornton and C) she says so too th-cam.com/video/eyVoNvqmmOs/w-d-xo.html. So there :)
Waa expecting there to be a disgusting defense by Black. Disappointed...
I saw it coming both the pawn moves lovely by Morphy thks every game of Morphy has a key move that is artistically appealing some play like theory by the book some play like a mathematical equation but Morphy is the only one who performs like an artist he makes his pieces pirouette dance on the sixty four black and white squares
9:54
Guilty
“Unlike some of you” - Looks around nervously
6:28 forgive me @adagmator and fellow subscribers for my ignorance, but why can the black queen not take on G4 here?
Bishop to H6, if G7 pawn takes the bishop, the Queen is pinned by rook on G1.
If pawn doesn't take, the black bishop can be sacrificed to take the other G7 pawn & attacking the rook.
If king takes the queen will be pinned again.
Black Queen will have to retreat.
Which H & G file will both be opened for whites attack.
& it'll be game over for black.
So Boden on black, is actually using the G4 pawn to his advantage, as extra cover to blacks defense.
