American chess legend, attacking genius Paul Morphy was born 182 years ago today, on June 22, 1837.

"Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all." – Bobby Fischer

@UnityChess
"Chess is like a language. The top players are very fluent at it. Talent can be developed scientifically, but you have to find first what you are good at."

πŸ”Έ Viswanathan Anand

@UnityChess
Early 20th century etching depicts the childhood home of Paul Morphy at 417 Royal Street. The property is now better known as Brennan's Restaurant.

Legendary Paul Morphy was born on June 22, 1837.

@UnityChess
β€œThe magnificent American master had the most extraordinary brain that anybody has ever had for chess. Technique, strategy, tactics, knowledge which is inconceivable for us; all that was possessed by Morphy fifty-four years ago.”

πŸ”Έ Jose R. Capablanca
