1834 World Chess Championship [Match 2, Game 2] commentary by Paul Morphy - Bird's Opening!

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 second game of the second 1834 match between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais and Alexander McDonnell. It features Bird's Opening and we use Morphy's commentary, and a little bit of 21st century engine analysis.
