Brilliant, helpful book that increases understanding of the game by examining the historical context for chess theory. Extremely useful to go through Paul Morphy's games as his moves are all so logical. My chess coach recommended that I go through his games. Then I found that the Colorado State Champion had a copy so I snatched it from him. (He owes me gas money.) I recommend getting a copy of this book any way you can!

Excellent book about Paul Morphy the pride and sorrow of chess. Like Fischer in the 20th century Morphy only played for a short time. Includes scores of 413 known game scores.
