Publisher Description
This book describes Morphy's trip to Europe, i. e. , England and France, where he wanted to play the European Champion Staunton, a match that never came about as the correspondence included in this book shows. He did play - and beat - virtually every other strong player in Europe though, and tales of these matches and people make up a large part of this book. After his triumphs in Europe, Paul Morphy was considerd the unofficial World Chess Champion, as official championship tournaments were only held from 1886.

Read the book!
Exciting! Interesting! Historically fascinating! I would recommend this book to any chess enthusiast. This book inspires the chess player to elevate his game but more importantly his character as a person.
