Paul Morphy was the first American Chess player to go to Europe and challenge the first class players. After defeating General Winfield Scott when he was only nine years old, Morphy was the player to beat if you sought distnction in the game on the American Scene. No one established a reputation for doing so. Morphy became a lawyer in New Orleans prior to the Civil War. He toured europe playing and winning matches against the strongest players available in England, Germany and France. Keyes, noting that Morphy never married, and died young, gives him an unhappy love affair,. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
