Aug-25-09 kevin86: Anderssen,himself the master of some many brilliant games,has the tables turned on him by the greatest of his time.
Aug-25-09 Chessmensch: I often wonder whether in those days players (like Anderssen in this case) used games to "try something out" even if it resulted in a loss or rout. I call this "research in chess." Nowadays, they do this with their seconds in private, but what was the practice back then? Aug-25-09 Edeltalent: <Capablanca [...] 2 years training in openings & modern theory> Funny thought! Not sure he'd like it, that wasn't exactly his style ;-) Aug-25-09 RandomVisitor: After 7.Be3:
Aug-25-09 psmith: <Honza Cervenka>: In your line after 14...Ke7 15.Qh5 Nxc2+ 16.Ke2 gxf6 17.Qf7+ Kd6 18.Nxa8 Nxa1 19.19.Rc1 Qe7 20.Rxc8 Qxf7 21.Bxf7 Bg7 Old Fritz (5.32) thinks that 22. Be8 is better.
Aug-25-09 WhiteRook48: Morphy finds a way to destroy the Sicilian
Aug-26-09 RandomVisitor: After 14...Ke7 15.Qh5 gxf6 how does white win?
Aug-27-09 psmith: <RandomVisitor> I think perhaps after 14...Ke7 15. Qh5 gxf6 16. Qf7+ Kd6 17. fxe3 White has a good attack. What does Rybka say about that?
Oct-12-09 tentsewang: Morphy's key to success was that he always looked forward to his adversary's king lockage in which he encountered great strategies and create a zugzwang position. The game could had went like this-- 17. Ke2 Nxa1 18. Rf1+ Ke7 19. Qxe5+ Be6 20. Qxe6# 1-0
Apr-02-10 The Rocket: "17.Ke2 2.75 (17.Kd2 4.20) "
why is is concidered a misstake when 2.75 wins the game just as much as 4.20 does...... only slower..

I wasn't especially well versed in computer analyses back then.
Apr-11-10 eddisn: Randomness is scary! After watching this game, I immediately set up a 3m blitz between Morphy and Anderssen in Chessmaster: GM Edition (which is a great program). The result left me shocked. After 8 seconds of thinking by Anderssen and 1(!) second by Morphy, they had reached the EXACT same game as here! of course, "Morphy" went on to win, as seen in the PGN below. Has anyone got an idea of how this may occur? Btw, this is my first kibitzing;)
Given what happened in the game, and Morphy's style for opening lines, developing pieces... I have to wonder if he wouldn't bother taking the rook in the corner with his knight. Taking the rook seems to take a lot of the dynamic out of the position. What would happen if he went with the thematic fxe3, similar to what happened in the game.
17.fxe3 Nxc2+ 18.Kf2 Qxc7 19.Qxf6+ Kd7 20.Rhd1
This seems more like Morphy to me. It is dangerous to provide long variations as fact, so the following is just fantasy quick computer analysis.
20... Qb6 21.Be6+ Kc7 22.Kc6 Qd8+
White can force a draw here.
23.Bd5+ Kc5
This seems more like Morphy, forcing the king out into open lines.
Exploiting the lack of safety for the King and the Queen
Jun-06-10 kingmundi: Another line, computer engines don't pick up on right away... More forcing than the 23.Bd5+ above
23.Bd7+ Kc5 24.b4+ Kc4 25.Bb5+ Kxb5 26.a4+
Feb-24-11 Llawdogg: Game Nine of the Match to Mr. Morphy. He has won six of the last seven games and the match is almost over. (6 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws). Two games left.
Jun-22-11 DrMAL: Morphy plays unofficial world champion Anderssen and blows him off the board. 6.Bf4 is not "correctly played" as the annotation states (6.c4 or 6.Be2 are probably better) but it is a viable option to provoke 6...e5 with an equal game from here. 7...f5 was inaccurate as annotated, where black normally plays 7...Nf6 or 7...Be6 or 7...a6 and white goes on correctly with 8.N1c3 to gain solid advantage.
9.Nd5 is part of a best continuation that Morphy brilliantly plays. In fact, both play best moves until 11.Qf3+ where Morphy risks his advantage by avoiding the best move 11.Nxa8 for potentially greater gain. Such a decision is egotistical but with good reason, Morphy was simply much better than anyone else in the world.
The decision quickly pays off. Both players make their best moves until black blunders with 14...Kg6 (14...Ke7 was necessary) and Morphy annihilates him. It must have been a huge humiliation!
Jan-27-12 TVCHESS3JAQUES: 14...Ke7!? 15.Qh5! gxh6 16.Qf7+ Kd6 17.Nxa8 The complications have yet to be favorable to Viktor Moskalenko white Las complicaciones aún deben resultar favorables a las blancas Viktor Moskalenko
Feb-24-12 dionysisgalanis: The mistake was ...14.Kg6. The correct move is ...14.Qxd5!
Jul-30-12 LoveThatJoker: Guess-the-Move Final Score:
Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858. YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF MORPHY. Your score: 19 (par = 18)
LTJ
Aug-15-12 drpavno1: Nothing would have been ground breakinh even if black had played 14.....Ke7 as white would have moved Qh5 with an attack on f7 and e5 both resulting in check and ultimately mate.
Apr-14-13 TheTamale: I have NEVER UNDERSTOOD this game. The assumption is the finish is a slam-dunk for White. Why can't Black just take the rook, weather a barrage of checks, and emerge way ahead in material? Does White have some decisive way of preventing that? (Or am I just that much better than Anderssen, Morphy, and every commentator who's ever lived? Hmm...)
Apr-14-13 disasterion: <TheTamale> After 17 ... Nxa1, white has 18.Rf1+ Ke7 19.Qxe5+
Then either 19 ... Be6 20.Qxe6# or 19 ... Kd7 20.Be6+ Kc6 21.Rc1+ Kb6 (21 ... Bc5 22.Qxc5#) 22.Qb5#
Apr-14-13 TheTamale: <disasterion>: Thanks so much; you are my new hero.
Apr-15-13 disasterion: <TheTamale> Why thank you.
Now you've said that I can confess that it took me longer to find than I'd expected, and it's not such an obvious resignation as it first appear s.
Actually, the film being made in black and white was a stylistic choice made by the crew! During the time the film was made, color technology was in full use, but they decided to do it in black and white instead.
