Description
This week we cover a game played by the great Paul Morphy.  This classic game takes its name from the location where it was played.  It's the Opera Game.  We cover the whole thing, moves 1-17.  Study the game, then have a listen and see how well you can visualise the moves "blindfold".   You'll find the complete game annotation here: http://bit.ly/37eFvGh.   Be sure to check out these video commentaries before you listen:  http://bit.ly/2ODsEqS and/or http://bit.http://bit.ly/2SxNXvjly/2SxNXvj.   Want to support the show?   It's still in its early stages, so a great way to do that is to offer your feedback.
