1834 World Chess Championship [Match 1, Game 23] commentary by Paul Morphy

Paul Morphy wrote a chess column called "Chess Department, conducted by Paul Morphy" in the New York Ledger from August 6, 1859 until August 4, 1860.

In this video, we go through the twenty-third game of the first 1834 match between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais and Alexander McDonnell. We use Morphy's commentary, and a little bit of 21st century engine analysis.
