    Morphy CRUSHED the best players of his time, taking chess as a childhood past time... retiring at 13 after smashing Lowenthal, coming out of retirement at 20 to kill time and show the chess world who was boss, he studied and played little chess by any chess master standar and so was at the BEGINNING of his true chess potential, yet was essentially invincible... as Anderssen himself said so... yeah the greatest chess genius in history

  • @mopbrothers
    The way Morphy destroyed his opponents was beautiful. It was natural and wild, unlike todays coldly calculated researched games.
  • @Dragon-jd1ks
    Hikaru is dropping mad hints that he's secretly a time traveler. It does explain a lot.
  • @tilt_ps
    "king cannot go back to e8 because then you can play knight takes king" Yes, I think I would play that...
  • @73greycat43
    Dang, not often we see Hikaru talk about legendary chess players. Love this.
  • @murder7415
    The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life. Hikaru 👀

    Bobby Fischer..... The greatest chess "scrub" of all time 😂

    “Those of you who speak German” I’m German and I had no idea what you said until you said it in English 😂

    "For those of you guys who were around back then..." Me: "Ah, yes, the good old days"

    Bobby Fischer will continue to be the greatest chess enigma that ever existed and no YouTuber will take that away from him..
