Paul Charles Morphy (June 22, 1837 – July 10, 1884) was an American chess player. He is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era and an unofficial World Chess Champion. He was a chess prodigy. He was called “The Pride and Sorrow of Chess” because he had a brief and brilliant chess career, but then retired from the game while still young.
