In the world of chess, there are legendary players who have left an indelible mark on the game. One such player is Paul Morphy, often considered the greatest of all time (GOAT). Morphy’s success rate with the King’s Gambit, an aggressive chess opening, was truly remarkable.
In this lesson by GM Igor Smirnov, we will delve into the brilliance of Morphy’s King’s Gambit and explore how you can replicate his success. If you’re looking for an exciting and effective opening as White, this is the masterclass you need.
The King’s Gambit chess opening is initiated by the moves 1.e4 e5 2.f4, where White sacrifices a pawn to gain quick attacking chances and open up lines against Black’s king.
It is a daring and aggressive opening that can lead to thrilling games filled with tactical opportunities. Paul Morphy’s games provide us with a blueprint to understand the true potential of the King’s Gambit.
What makes Morphy’s games even more remarkable is their relevance even today. Despite being played almost 200 years ago, the moves made by Morphy’s opponents still resonate in amateur-level chess. This suggests that by studying Morphy’s games and understanding his approach, you can prepare for common responses and increase your chances of success with the King’s Gambit.

In this line, what would be the best move after: 1. e4, e5, 2. f4, e5Xf4, 3. kn f3, d5??? how should white respond?
Briliant brain of Morphy.
I lave paul morphy game
Morphy wasn't a chess player, he was an artist.
At 2:20 , what if black plays knight to h6 instead of pawn to h6?
At 5:36, there was also Queen to e6#, besides Queen c7# as played by Morphy in the game. So early in the game and white could choose how to checkmate his oponent! I have always been saying that the real GOAT was Morphy, and only then Fischer, Magnus, and Kasparov, as Morphy was the only one who didn't have such great predecesors and such plathora of chess material to learn from as the latter 3 had, not to mention computer engines that can give you and teach you the best moves from any given position, live coverage of chess tournaments with grandmasters analyzing every move, strategy, etc.

Chess games then: I will sacrifice every pieces to beat you. It doesn't matter I will lose. Someone has to get knockouted.
Chess games now: I think I'll play London.
I have been your subscriber for at Least 7 Months ago and your videos has learned me a tons of traps and I got my rating from 1200 to 1600. Thank u 😊
Great title for indeed the one and only true chess goat!
Thank you for another great video! My only problem is that the last 7 times in a row that I played the King's Gambit as White, Black declined the gambit. In Morphy's day, I've heard that it was considered cowardly to decline a gambit.
Great! I was just going over some of Morphy's king's gambit games yesterday. It's really cool stuff

The universal chess opening for white,what if blk queen slides to white bishops orginal spot? What’s white play next?
Damn, that first game was really beautiful. How the heck did he see all of that blindfolded! These are the kind of games which make you go 'ooh!' and appreciate the true beauty of chess
