He was called "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" because he had a brief and brilliant chess career, but retired from the game while still young.
Morphy had a tremendous imaginative thinking, and all his games are amazing and with beatifull sacrificies. Morphy has demonstrated practically all the most important chess concepts.
From Morphys games, we can learn a lot, such as developing pieces, forcing moves and principle of an attack.
