Morphy's Games of Chess

One of the best ways for a chess player to improve his or her playing technique is by examining records of the games of chess masters and playing through them, move by move, on a chessboard. This volume contains records of 300 games by 19th-century player Paul Morphy. Morphy was considered the strongest chess player in his time (the official title of World Champion had not yet been created) and even today his games are valued for their quick development and clean lines. By playing along with these chess masters, players of any skill level will find new insights into game mastery. Paired with the move lists are expert analyses of the wheres and whys of Morphy’s games.
