Morphy was the best player in the world in his day. He played a famous game against two noblemen while at the opera. Here are some short pieces about it courtesy of chess historian, Edward Winter:

More on the bombing, which I must confess, I had forgotten all about.

We remember 9/11 and Lockerbie, but somehow this atrocity seems to have been consigned to history books.

I'm a photography fan as you know Mr T, and I'm the last person to speak ill of the dead, but try as I might, I can't see anything remarkable about Imogen's work.
