Paul Morphy is a chess legend and without doubt one of the greatest
players in the history of the game. His understanding of the game was
years ahead of his time and in his era he was easily the best player in
the world. His chess career was brief but brilliant and he influenced
all the great champions who came after him. His legacy includes a
treasure trove of wonderful strategic and attacking games which are
highly instructive for all aspiring chess players. In this book,
Grandmaster Zenón Franco examines in detail Morphy's chess style,
selects and studies his favourite Morphy games, and demonstrates how we
can all improve our chess by learning from Morphy's masterpieces. Move
by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually
challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book,
the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising
of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of
knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep
you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you
learn. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and
knowledge.
