Highlighted is a game by the great Paul Morphy of New Orleans, Louisiana, who played an “odds” game in New York, USA in 1859 against Thomas Jefferson Bryan. How would Morphy, one of the best chess players ever, manage to quickly generate trouble with a lone knight? Can we still call Morphy’s opening choice the “Evan’s Gambit” when white is without the queen knight? 🙂 This video is from the “Aesthetic Chess Combinations” playlist at http://bit.ly/2y04E7e

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
