E4: The Pride and Sorrow

Listen Later

A nine-year-old boy shows his father and uncle where they went wrong in their recent game.   The remarkable thing?  Nobody had ever taught him how to play chess.


The game this time is Morphy vs. Duke Karl and Count Isouard (1858).   You can find the annotation here:  https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1233404
