MORPHY AND HIS KIND GESTURE!
At 19, Morphy was qualified to be a lawyer, But rules being a little tighter, He had to wait till 21 to practice law, This made him withdraw. Leading him to see a little less, Of everything but chess!
The results of his dedication was evident, And the results were definitely relevant, At the first American chess congress(1857), Morphy crushed and dominated. The game had a new star, Glory was not very far!
Morphy played the French champion Daniel Harrwitz, The match lacked any competition, Morphy exercised complete domination, Using his usual ammunition!
Morphy did not consider the tournament, Of having any fighting element, He gave up his prize money for a cause, Proving the human he was. He wanted to sponsor Anderssen to play him, Hoping the fight would be to the brim!
Anderssen agreed to play during the christmas vacation, Since teaching was his vocation In the interim, Morphy played a lot, Blindfolds and simultaneous being a part of the plot !
