Morphy vs Staunton – the match that never was

When 21-year-old Paul Morphy travelled to Europe in the summer of 1858
he destroyed all opposition. Except for one of Europe’s chess heroes, who avoided
a confrontation. Howard Staunton would only play consultation games, where you
can blame a loss on your partner. In his Playchess
lecture Dennis Monokroussos shows us an interesting example. Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET.
