Paul Morphy

I am quite a fan of King's Gambit, so I really enjoy his games. Anyone else in this boat?

All of his games are extremely violent and entertaining.

i wish i played king's gambit better. pretty cool to look at all the matches were its played well.

kings gambit is unsound i though

Its is unsound, but its good to play still. At the highest level, King's Gambit is dead as dead can be.

I enjoy studying paul morphy's games. He was an awesome player.

Some of my chess buddies and I memorized the Opera Game.  It really helps our understanding of many tactics when we're having a "losing day", as we call day's that we don't win much, which isn't very often, compared to others that we know.  Other games that Morphy played have been fun to analyze, too..
