    Более века не меркнет слава Пола Морфи. В свое время он вызывал восхищение не только блистательными победами, но и неукротимой фантазией, стремительностью атак, огнем комбинаций. Однако в наши дни наибольшее удивление вызывает гармоничность его игры. Морфи всегда был готов атаковать короля, но если позиция требовала иных действий, то он не отказывался от ведения борьбы в строгом позиционном стиле и от перехода в эндшпиль. Постоянное стремление Морфи к инициативе, неустанный поиск наилучшего хода, игра высокого накала производят глубокое впечатление. Эта книга повествует о творчестве этого замечательного шахматиста. Она состоит из двух частей. Первая - "Повесть о Морфи" (3-е изд.) известного шахматного мастера и писателя Евгения Загорянского, рассказывающая о жизни и творческом пути великого американского шахматиста. Во вторую часть вошли 69 лучших партий Морфи из книги выдающегося венгерского гроссмейстера Гезы Мароци "Шахматные партии Пауля Морфи" (пер. с нем. А. Ольшевского, Л.: Прибой, 1929). Рассчитана на широкий круг любителей шахмат.
