Podcast appearances and mentions of paul morphy

En el capítulo de hoy hablamos en exclusiva, desde Mar del Plata, con Jorge Rosito, una de las personas que mejor conoce a Faustino Oro, el chico de 11 años que maravilla a toda la comunidad ajedrecística. Rosito nos cuenta cómo ha sido el proceso de acompañamiento con un genio, cómo ha encajado la nueva etapa que ahora arranca y cuál fue la principal motivación que le llevó a convertirse en uno de los entrenadores más prestigiosos y aplaudidos. En ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas', rendimos un tributo muy jazzístico a la figura de Paul Morphy, el mayor talento natural de todos los tiempos. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa', el maestro Luisón sigue señalándonos algunos títulos imprescindibles. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal', recibimos el saludo y la pregunta de Lorena García Afonso, psicopedagoga, presidenta de la asociación canaria Alfil Educa y coordinadora del proyecto ‘Educando personitas, no campeones'.

This week's guest is renowned author and 2-time Massachusets state champion, FM Charles Hertan. Charles' new book, The Real Paul Morphy takes an all encompassing look at the complex legacy of Paul Morphy. Morphy is widely regarded as the best player of the 19th century, yet still might be underappreciated. What made Morphy's play so special?  Why isn't he mentioned more often in the chess G.O.A.T. conversations? What led to his unexpected mental health struggles? In addition to discussing Paul Morphy, we talk about why Charles retired at OTB chess near a peak rating of 2500 USCF, and Charles shares advice from his classic tactics manual, Forcing Chess Moves and offers some chess improvement advice. As always, approximate timestamps of topics discussed can be found below.  Chessable Pro-  Thanks to our sponsors, Chessable.com.  Check out their new offerings including GM Garry Kasparov's much anticipated Chessable debut!

Tonight, we'll read the opening to “The Exploits and Triumphs, In Europe, of Paul Morphy, The Chess Champion.” It was published in 1859 and written by Frederick Milnes Edge, who was Morphy's secretary.  Paul Morphy, born in New Orleans in 1837, was considered the greatest chess player of his era. He was a child prodigy who learned to play chess simply by watching family members play. When he was only 9 years old, he was hailed as the best chess player in his city. This book describes Morphy's trip to Europe in 1858. After his triumphs in Europe, he was considered the unofficial World Chess Champion, as official championship tournaments were only held starting in 1886, almost thirty years later. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Ein Londoner Schachcafé ist Schauplatz der heutigen Folge von Xenia Bayers Podcast "Schach für Kinder". Es geht - wie schon in Folge 166 (Paul Morphy) um Schachgenies. Zwei führende Schachprotagonisten des 19. Jahrhunderts treten gegeneinander an. Ihre Partie findet im Jahr 1851 am Rande des berühmten Londoner Schachturniers statt, das der eine davon später gewinnen wird. Bis zum 17. Zug ist es eine nahezu gewöhnliche Partie im Königsgambit, aber dann explodiert die Stellung, und die Ereignisse überschlagen sich. Später wird die Partie als die "Unsterbliche Partie" in die Geschichte eingehen. Xenia Bayer erzählt uns mehr über die beiden Schachgenies, wie sie heißen und was aus ihnen geworden ist.

Xenia Bayer lädt uns in die Pariser Oper ein. Es läuft "Der Barbier von Sevilla". Es ist das Jahr 1858, und wir befinden uns in der Loge des Herzogs von Braunschweig. Hier wird heute eine Partie gespielt, die als eine der berühmtesten in die Schachgeschichte eingehen wird: Paul Morphy gegen den Herzog von Braunschweig und Graf Isoard, die sogenannte "Opernpartie". Nach 17 Zügen sind die beiden Adeligen Schachmatt, denn Morphy hat eine wunderbare Kombination angesetzt. Wie es dazu kam, erzählt uns Xenia Bayer in diesem Podcast.

You have all heard of El Chupacabra, but have you ever heard of their Cajun  cousin, The Grunch Road Monster? This vampire hybrid of canine and reptilian has one large spiked tooth at the center of it's top jaw to puncture and slurp down blood from whatever unsuspecting pray it happens upon. The Grunch is also believed to be more advanced and sophisticated than the typical Chupacabra. Oral stories of The Grunch Road Monster began in the 18th century within a community of free persons of color. It was here where the monster got its name, as it was said to prowl the wooded edges of Grunch Road.The Vampire of Farbourgh Marigny is a similar, if not synonymous form of Chupacabra and was a foe of none of other than the "Voodoo Queen" Madam Marie Laveau. Building on our prior episode, the Devil-Man of Algiers was said to have spawned a "Baby-Devil." Marie Laveau was said to have located the Baby-Devil and castrated it to prevent any future hellspawn from wreaking havoc in New Orleans. Unfortunately, this had the exact opposite effect, as one of the baby-devil's fallen testicles spawned a male Grunch and the other a female Grunch. Really grunched that one up, didn't ya, Madam Laveau?Grunch Road today is a nearly forgotten, unpaved stretch that dead-ends near Little Woods in eastern NOLA. Despite it's rural location, people still venture with hopes of snapping a picture of The Grunch Road Monster. The Grunch has been featured in cryptid books and is the titular figure in The Grunch: a Children's Musical-- although the musical is more a parody of How The Grinch Stole Christmas than a true homage to the Grunch Road Monster. And, for the record, The Grunch was not the Dr. Seuss's inspiration for The Grinch.For photos, cast info, updates, and more, follow us on Instagram @thetalegatepodcast and share YOUR encounters to thetalegatepodcast@gmail.com.See you later, Talegaters!Credits:“Cheese Head” & “Paul Morphy” played by Aaron Sherry“Florida Man” & “Bernard de Bore” played by Harrison Foreman“Gary Grunch" played by Harrison Foreman"High quality, royalty free, elevator music" by Defphonix"Talegate Theme" by Mat JonesWritten & Edited by Harrison Foreman

Things are about to get groovy as we visit St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 with our special tour guide, "The Witch Queen of New Orleans," Mary Oneida Toups! Follow us as we venture through New Orleans's oldest and most haunted cemetery while socializing with the spirits that dwell there, including "Voodoo Queen" herself, Madam Marie Laveau. We also have a run-in with the Devil of Algiers, so look out!Born in Mississippi in 1928, Mary Oneida married a Cajun Freemason, Albert Toups. In 1968, Mary and Albert moved to New Orleans where Mary's love and passion for witchcraft and the occult blossomed to such heights that she  chartered the Religious Order of Witchcraft in 1972, the first coven to be registered as an official religious organization within the state of Louisiana. Mary Toups said, "the dead walk the alleys of St. Louis No. 1 more than the living. And when I pass over, I’ll certainly be one of them.” Her cause of death is a mystery,  with historians speculating that she was either poisoned or suffered a brain tumor. While it is believed that Mary and Albert Toups are buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in a deliberately unmarked tomb, this has never been confirmed. The most famous spirit said to roam the cemetery  is that of "Voodoo Queen," Madam Marie Laveau. Born in 1801, Marie was a free woman of color with African, Native American, and French decency.  Laveau was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of Voodoo, herbalist and midwife who made a lucrative life for herself in New Orleans. Renowned for her healing and wisdom, many naysayers believe she acquired her knowledge from the help of New Orleans elite, and not always by kind tactics. She died in 1881 at 79 years old, peacefully in her bed. The tomb of Marie Laveau is often marked with the "X"s by hopefuls requesting good fortune from her spirit. If their wishes are met, they are to return to her tomb with an offering in repayment. While this is a long tradition of St. Louis, defacing the tomb today will get you fined (just write the "X"s with your fingers). While St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is one of New Orleans's most popular haunted attractions, NOLA is haunted by more than just ghosts. The "Devil-Man" had Algiers in a panic in 1938. Terrorizing drivers, shouting sexist & racist comments to residents, and storming bars demanding free beer to evade eternal damnation. The Devil-Man was an unstoppable nuisance. When police went to shoot the Devil-Man, their bullets were said to have been returned to them by a summoned set of furry hands. Police apprehended a man who called himself, "Lord Herold." Later identified as Clark Carlton, a black man who had traveled to NOLA  all the way from Arkansas. He claimed all of the chaos in Algiers was his doing and that he was sent to New Orleans by the ancient Roman god of the sea, Neptune. Despite admitting to the crime spree, the PD kept getting reports of devil sightings. After that night, the devil made one last appearance in Algiers, as a woman was said to have given birth to a "Baby-Devil."  For photos, cast info, updates, and more, follow us on Instagram @thetalegatepodcast and share YOUR encounters to thetalegatepodcast@gmail.com.See you later, Talegaters!Credits:“Cheese Head” & “Paul Morphy” played by Aaron Sherry“Florida Man” & “Bernard de Bore” played by Harrison Foreman“Mary Oneida Toups” played by Kathryn Baker“Ernest Nathan Morial” played by Greg Hernandez“Maria Laveau” played by Zemelis Samuel“Dev” played by Tommy Schwanfelder"Groovy Retro 70's Vibe Police Theme Music" by Studio Rodent"Talegate Theme" by Mat JonesWritten & Edited by Harrison Foreman

Sección del programa de Rpa "La radio es mía" que demuestra que la modernidad es algo que viene de antiguo. Emisión del 1/2/2021, decimosexta de la sexta temporada, dedicada al mito del ajedrez Paul Morphy. Paul Morphy (Nueva Orleans 1837-1884), del que Kasparov dijo que fue el padre del ajedrez moderno. Niño prodigio, su carrera internacional apenas duró un año, el que pasó entre el término de sus estudios de derecho y en el que cumplió los 21 años, la edad mínima para ejercer la abogacía. Ganó el campeonato de EEUU y viajó a Europa para enfrentarse a su ídolo, Howard Staunton, y derrotó a los mejores jugadores del mundo con su ajedrez rápido, de ataque agresivo y gran creatividad, pero Staunton puso todo tipo de escusas para no jugar cotra él. Aclamado como campeón del mundo oficioso (aún no existía el título oficial), regresó a Estados Unidos y decidió no volver a jugar al ajedrez. No consiguió triunfar coo abogado y empezó a desarrollar comportamientos excéntricos. Siempre se negó a volver al ajedrez e, incluso, perdía los papeles cuando alguien en su presencia pronunciaba el nombre de su juego. Pasó a la historia como el orgullo y la tristeza del ajedrez y mostró al mundo que lo más importante era el desarrollo del juego, aunque para ello hubiera que sacrificar algunas piezas por el camino.

Durante grande parte do Século XX o Campeonato Mundial de Xadrez representou as disputas políticas do mundo. A disputa do mundial de 1972 ganhou proporções muito maiores justamente por estar vinculada a Guerra Fria. Outro ponto importante dos mundiais de xadrez aconteceu no fim dos anos 80, com disputas internas e caminhando para a sua ruptura a situação da União Soviética foi representada nas finais dos mundiais de 1984 a 1990, sempre entre Anatoly Kaspov e Gary Kasparov. Confira agora essas histórias no Lado B do Esporte! Links e informações Texto do site Aventuras na História que serviu de base para a criação do roteiro O filme “O Dono do Jogo”, título em português, também serviu como base para este episódio. Confira a ficha técnica do filme aqui. Antes da oficialização do mundial de xadrez Paul Morphy foi campeão mundial em 1858. Após a oficialização do campeonato, Wilhelm Steinitz venceu o mundial três vezes, 1889, 1891 e 1892. Apesar de ter sido campeão sob a bandeira americana, Steinitz era de origem austríaca. Dessa forma, Bobby Fischer é considerado o único americano nato campeão mundial de xadrez.

It turns out to be an easy go, since these days, Michael does not give a fuck. Topics include Satan the Accuser, a holy hunch, a book thief, a dead cat bounce, McKenzie's Bakery, fluid identity, Herb Jeffries, Iron Eyes Cody, comics, Paul Morphy, scholastic chess fever, a standing ovation, a cheap date, hand surgery and the healing power of music, a judicial beatdown, the Norske Nook, clam rolls, the Senate fashion show, a Gong Show, Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, and much more.
