Morphy was not a drunkard or a dope fiend. He was, however, mentally ill. Many describe him as a paranoid schizophrenic. He had what many call an eidetic memory and was so far ahead of the other masters of his era that his dominance is really unrivaled in chess. His death from stroke some feel was really a suicide. A lawyer, and the son of a Louisiana Supreme Court justice, growing up in Louisiana and attending college in Alabama was not a great place for some of his political ideals: anti-slavery and pacifism. He gave up chess through great swaths of his youth and for a long period of time before his death."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

There was a good piece on him in one of the chess journals. I cannot find it. This Smithsonian piece is decent, though:

That so many chess "masters" were drunkards, drug fiends, or mentally ill is a cautionary tale for us all.Comment

There is a bit of unfortunate truth to that, DSL. At least with mental illness. Bobby Fischer was quite insane, for example.Last edited by AlabamAlum; April 10, 2020, 10:21 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

It's true. You'll always find at least one wearing a meat helmet and singing the praises of a shorn scrotum.The top boards of a chess tournament are often populated with unkempt, paranoid nut jobs.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
