Paul Morphy est plus qu'une légende dans l'histoire du jeu d'échecs, il est un véritable mythe.
Né dans le Quartier français de La Nouvelle-Orléans en Louisiane en 1837, Morphy est non seulement d'une certaine manière le fondateur des échecs en Amérique, mais aussi un joueur très francophile. Cependant, assez étonnamment, si tout novice aux échecs entend rapidement parler de Morphy...

Principles of typical endgames (such as keeping the rook behind a passed pawn, not setting pawns on the same colored squares as your bishop’s, distant pawns being more dangerous than central ones etc.) are well known too. But what about “complex endgames”? I have in mind endgames with at least two pieces on each side;...

Black's philosophy is based around allowing White to build a large and impressive-looking pawn centre, only to plot its downfall by attacking it with pieces or timely pawn strikes. When it works, the results can be spectacular, but of course this method of play carries with it some danger; if...
