Grandmaster Ben Finegold tours through two games from the 19th century. McDonnell has pawns thrown at him by La Bourdonnais in the first unofficial world championship match and Paul Morphy executes a smothered mate on an oddly-named opponent.

I thought the answer was that Morphy said "class dismissed."

The best part of Ben Finegold videos isn't really his analysis but more him roasting kids for 25 min straight.

@13:13 the only way I can think of to queen, with checkmate, while protecting the queening square; from the queen, with a pawn. That's how you smother someone who is up a rook with pawns in style... Seriously.

@clairedemorgan5695 5 жыл бұрын

In total agreement with GM Ben...Morphy is the greatest chess player ever lived. Imagine him with all the knowledge of chess theory n computer assistance if he was alive today. His ELO would be 3000. Morphy was ahead of the curve by a long way. He was the genius of chess much like Einstein in physics and Mozart in music. Class dismissed!

@valentinrafael9201 6 жыл бұрын

What if Morphy wasn't actually playing bad moves? Instead, he knew how bad his opponent was, so he thought what his opponent would play if he played that, leading to a shorter game. I mean, If you play against weak people, you go for tricks and you hope they don't see them ( and they don't, because that is why they are weak )

@12jswilson Жыл бұрын

I found Kd7 because everything else looked like resigns immediately. If I'm Morphy and I calculate that Kd7 is the best move for black, I assume I'm winning.
