Un maestro insuperable en el juego abierto. "Paul Morphy, el joven norteamericano que hace ya más de un siglo asombrara al mundo con sus hazañas ajedrecísticas, incorporó a la escuela romántica imperante en su tiempo un nuevo concepto en la valoración de la partida: el desarrollo. El eje teórico de sus ideas frente al tablero gira alrededor del previo desarrollo como finalidad inicial de la lucha. Articulando este concepto a sus formidables dotes combinativas, Morphy dominó toda una época con su juego brillante, bello y, al mismo tiempo, sencillo y eficaz" (Benito López Esnaola, en la contraportada de su libro "Morphy, su vida y 353 partidas")

It turned up in a North Dakota wheat field: a triangle, like a shark's fin, sticking up from the black loam. Tom Lasker did what any farmer would have done. He dug it up. And discovered a boat, made of a fiberglass-like material with an utterly impossible atomic number. What it was doing buried under a dozen feet of prairie soil two thousand miles from any ocean, no one knew. True, Tom Lasker's wheat field had once been on the shoreline of a great inland sea, but that was a long time ago – ten thousand years ago.
