▪️Paul Morphy
▪️ American chess player
♦️ Paul Charles Morphy was an American chess player.
♦️ He is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era and an unofficial World Chess Champion. He was a chess prodigy.
▫️ Full name Paul Charles Morphy
▫️ Country United States
▫️ Born June 22, 1837 New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
▫️ Died July 10, 1884 (aged 47) New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
▫️ World Champion 1858–62 (unofficial)
♦️ A fantastic and informative game of Morphy 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
♦️ About this game:
" 🔸 This game will make an impression on you.
🔸The most instructive part of this game is how Morphy gives his opponent no time to do anything!
🔸After poor opening play (do not bring your queen out too early without GOOD reason!) by black he gets caught in a whirlwind of problems and from move 7 onwards every move is more or less forced!
🔸Morphy uses a powerful strategy (which you should attempt to emulate) of developing his pieces with a gain of time (piece comes out and hits the enemy queen, forcing her to move again instead of doing something productive) and pushes his opponent around until the final checkmate. "

📘 28.a4!
A clever move that prevents black to play Rc7-Nd4 and obtain the equality.
28...b×a4 (Nc7 29.Re1)
29.Bc4 Nc7
(29...Rc7 30.B×e6 f×e6 31.Ka2 +-)

📘 33...B×f3?? 34.Rf8+?
Mamedyarov's blunder. Both players here overlooked the obvious mate in two moves, by 34.Rh7+ Kg8 35.Qg7#

📘 21.h4!
With the idea of h5 and Qc2. From now on, Black has a difficult defence.

32.Kh2?
A miscalculation by Rublevsky which is completely exploited by the opponent.

14.Qf2
Generally, the queen does indeed go to g3, to put pressure on g7 and support e4-e5; but here, since Black has regrouped with 11...Re8 and 13...Bf8, the queen has surprising possibilities on the f-file, even if the prospects don't appear very promising at the moment. The pawn-breaks e4-e5 and f4-f5 now start to come into consideration.
14.Qg3 Nb4 and the c2-pawn becomes a target.
14.f5 White reveals her intention soon. 14...Nf6 and then 15...Ne5.
