THE Stjlo't0>' ATFAIIt. " Honour pricks me on. Yea, but if honour pricks me off when I come on ? how then ? "--Sin John Falstatf. We must anticipate the events of a few months, in order to place the discussion with Mr. Staunton where it properly belong*, viz., with Morphy's achievements in England. Paul Morphy's principal object in coming to Europe was--to play a match with Mr. Staunton. I am well aware that a young gentleman, travelling for the first time in foreign countries, must have many objects in view; but, in this particular case, the pretext for the voyage, the very inducement for his friends to consent to his journey was to repeat that challenge personally, in England, which Mr. Staunton had declined on the ground of the place of combat not being in Europe. It is necessary that this point should be understood, because much of the controversy hinges upon it. If we examine the challenge addressed to Mr. Staunton by the Xew Orleans Chess Club, we find therein two main ideas: lstly. That Mr. Staunton is a representative of European chess. 2ndly. That American players challenge him to combat with their representative. Mr. Staunton's reply raised but one objection; and that objection led Paul Morphy to cross the Atlantic, in order to. remove the only stumbling-block in the way of the contest. I was constantly with Morphy after his arrival in London, and a frequent subject of conversation between us was the match with Mr. Staunton. That, too, was the first, the principal topic, at all the London Clubs we visited, and even'thing but the date was looked upon as decided. Mr. Staunton, however, had not, as yet, stated explicitly that he accepted the challenge, but he did so viva voce shortly after Mr. Morphy's arrival, ...

Technique, strategy, tactics, knowledge which is inconceivable for us; all that was possessed by Morphy fifty-four years ago. - Jose R. Capablanca Paul Charles Morphy (June 22, 1837 - July 10, 1884), an American chess player, is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era. This book unveils the life of this chess prodigy, knew as "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" because he had a brilliant chess career but retired from the game while still young.

Download or read book Paul Morphy written by David Lawson and published by University of Louisiana at Lafayette. This book was released on 2010 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paul Morphy: The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" is the only full-length biography of Paul Morphy, the antebellum chess prodigy who launched United States participation in international chess and is still generally acknowledged as the greatest American chess player of all time. But Morphy was more than a player. He was a shy, retiring lawyer who had been taught that such games were no way to make a living. The strain of his fame and the pull of his domineering family led Morphy to set another precedent: chess madness. Morphy's mental descent after retiring from chess became a part of his lore, made all the more magnanimous by a spate of twentieth-century examples. "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" tells the full known story of the life of Paul Morphy, from his privileged upbrining in New Orleans to his dominance of the chess world, to the later tragedy of his demise. This new edition of David Lawson's seminal work, still the principal source for all Morphy biographical presentations, also includes new biographical material about the biographer himself, telling the story of the author, his opus, and the previously unknown life that brought him to the research.
