On the night of his untimely and mysterious death in post-Civil War New Orleans, world chess champion Paul Morphy's exciting and tortured life is reviewed. Known as the greatest chess player of all time, Morphy was a multidimensional genius prodigy. The chess game played in 1858 at an opera house in Paris between the American chess master Paul Morphy and two strong amateurs, German noble Karl II, Duke of Brunswick and French aristocrat Comte Isouard de Vauvenargues, is among the most famous of chess games. Duke Karl and Count Isouard consulting together, played as partners against Morphy.
