  • Virender Sehwag : one-hitter who changed the way this game should be paced

    If fearlessness was a person, it would be the Sultan of Multan-Virender Sehwag. In the days when T20 was not born, a run rate of above 5.5 would be considered huge to achieve. In these old days, when the game was played at the pace of local train, this man gave the cricketing world the experience of riding through a superfast bullet train. Author:- Ashwin Jangam (Cricket Analyst, host, poet, entertainer) Insta I'd:- cricket_creativity If fearlessness was a person, it would be the Sultan of Multan-Virender Sehwag. In the days when T20 was not born, a run rate of above 5.5 would be considered huge to achieve. In these old days, when the game was played at the pace of local train, this man gave the cricketing world the experience of riding through a superfast bullet train. The Najafgarh born first had an encounter with the bat at a mere age of 7 months when he played with a toy bat. No one knew, that he would toy the best bowlers in the world with his bat in the years to come. Initially, it was his cousins who used to be hit for boundaries off Viru's bat. Later on, it became a regular job of all the international bowlers. He left the world awestruck with his power hitting. His power-hitting without much footwork was a result of his strong arms. The credit for his strong arms goes to his childhood coach Amar Nath Sharma. The coach tied sandbags on the bat to make it heavy while Viru practised. Initially, it led to difficulties in Viru's backlift, but eventually, it resulted in gaining much-needed power. Result of which could be seen in matches he played, where he would hit a six with ease and score his runs through boundaries. He continued his hitting at every next level he was selected to play for. His consistent for Delhi in the domestic circuit earned him an India call up in 1999. But he could not impress the world in his debut as he got out scoring 1 run, resulting in him dropping from the side for almost the next 2 years. He was selected for the zimbabwe series in 2000-2001 when he scored his first half-century and in the year to follow when he was promoted to play as an opener, he scored a century against Srilanka. This was the third fastest century by an Indian till then, a record he broke while scoring a 60 ball century against New Zealand in 2009. He proved to be a solid opening partner in the 2003 world cup campaign for India. He complimented Sachin Tendulkar very well throughout the tournament. His innings of 83 in the final of the 2003 world cup against the mighty Aussies, was the only fighting knock for India that day. India lost the match, ending up as runners up in the tournament. But his innings was applauded by many, due to him being a lone warrior of the match for India. In 2004, he became the first triple centurion for our the Men in Blue. He brutally thrashed all the Pakistan bowlers in the Multan Test match. The spectators were unsure whether it was a test match or an Odi. He reached his triple century hitting a six off Saqlain Mushtaq, despite everyone warning him to reach the landmark without risking it much. But that's how the man was, fearless. The innings made him remember forever as "Sultan of Multan". In 2008, he scored another triple century with an innings of 319 in Chennai, against South Africa, making him the only person after Sir Don Bradman and Brian Lara to reach the landmark of 2 triple centuries. In the next year, he scored 293 against Sri Lanka to get dismissed trying to hit for a six on long-on. He just missed becoming the first human to reach the landmark of scoring 3 triple centuries, but little did he care about it. He played a crucial role in India's limited over matches. He was a crucial member do the team winning the 2007 T20 world cup and the 2011 ODI world cup. He decided to play in the 2007 T20 world cup when senior members decided they would not play is, and his opening in the tournament India a good start. In the 2011 world cup, he launched the attack in Bangladesh in the inaugural match by scoring 175 runs. In the same world cup, he started the Indian innings with a boundary in all the matches. His contribution with the bat as well as the ball helped India clinch the title in both these tournaments. After the 2011 world cup, he continued his onslaught on bowlers silencing his critics who were keen on his retirement. In 2012, he became the second person after Sachin Tendulkar to score a double hundred in ODI. Also, he continued his services in IPL for Kings eleven Punjab where he scored 122 off 58 balls in IPL 2014. Increasing age never reduced his speed and hunger for scoring runs. Playing for India, he broke many new records. He was the fastest centurion of India till 2013 when his record was broken by Virat Kohli. Sehwag has the record of scoring fastest 200,250 and 300 in test cricket. He had the record of the highest individual score by an Indian of 219, which was later broken by Rohit Sharma. He is the first player to have a double century in ODI and a triple century in tests. All in all, the 22 times test centurion, and 15 times ODI centurion has always been a great servant of Indian cricket. Courtesy : ESPN CRIC INFO There have been power hitters in the game, there will be even more such hitters. But one hitter who changed the way this game should be paced will always be Sehwag. A lot of bowlers describe Sehwag as a nightmare. His effortless hitting, without much footwork and his fearless attitude, has won India many matches and has won more than a billion hearts worldwide. Even today, the young hitters across the globe look up to this youngster of 43 years for his hard-hitting. Sehwag, turning 43 continues to serve Indian cricket in many ways. He remains an inspiration for many among generations of people playing cricket. We wish him to live a long, happy and healthy life, and we also hope to find good power hitters, with the best power hitter being himself.

  • Ananya Anurag Anand about "MENSTRUATION: A CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS EXPERIENCED UNCONSCIOUSLY"

    Bonjour, lovely people! With more than 70 copies already sold this month, I am glad to share my journey of reaching here! So here it is! I remember searching for this concept for the first time nearly two years back and typed "consciousness during menstruation" on the internet. Each result I could find there varied from the other. And can you really guess what I got hold of? I got hold of the term "conscious menstruation" mentioned as a choice for refined options! Now...this was quite interesting because I got exactly what I wanted and then I was taken to the search results where people had linked menstruation with nature, especially the beautiful seasons that we witness, the spring and the fall! There I could find what people were really missing out on. They were missing out on something more insider than the connection with nature, something more purposeful than tuning into the seasons, something more important than embracing your beauty! And that was about realizing and embracing the power that lies within each woman due to the entire menstrual cycle and not just the duration of the ongoing periods! I could feel the need for a bridge that needs to be constructed in order for not just women but also men to reach a mindset that knows what power does a woman really possess, and embrace it. But... I tell you that I was truly clueless on how to start building this bridge! Well! There was this one question always on my mind, "How can I bring out the power in women to rejuvenate humanity?" So, I started learning about the natural sciences and their connection with women. I read various articles which tried to convey the importance of imbibing the values of the seasons in our menstrual cycle. I also tried to talk to different sets of people on what they think about the phenomenon of menstruation and its advantages. And after doing all of this, after I was done with all my research work, I started building the link, the bridge that I always wanted to construct. So, here lies it!!! You can find everything about this concept in my book named "MENSTRUATION: A CONSCIOUSNESS THAT IS EXPERIENCED UNCONSCIOUSLY" and I really hope you all love it! Talking about the response that I have got till now, it had been an amazing experience hearing positive and thankful quotes from people who have read the book. This book is one of a kind because it relates menstruation to your spiritual awakening! Not only does it makes you realize your power as a woman but takes you to the roots of this power which is your menstrual cycle! Your menstrual cycle drives your whole life and probably that's why you are so connected to everything and undergo all sorts of emotions but this power can be used in another way that is to lead the most awakened form of life in the best possible way! Read further to know more about your powers! I am sharing the links below, for those who wanna buy it now and become truly conscious beings: Amazon eBook: https://www.amazon.in/MENSTRUATION-consciousness-that-experienced-unconsciously-ebook/dp/B0948NWY6H/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1621172955&sr=8-1 Amazon paperback: https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/1639201491/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1621172955&sr=8-1 Notionpress paperback: https://notionpress.com/read/menstruation ~Regards, Ananya Anurag Anand (#missionevolvin) Click here to know more about Ananya https://linktr.ee/ananyaauthor

  • Intello Labs "Praman", a Groundbreaking, AI-Powered Agriculture Produce Trade Exchange Platform

    Intello Labs, a global AI-powered quality assaying startup, formally announced the launch of their Praman business today, which has been in stealth mode over the past few months. Praman is groundbreaking agriculture produce trade exchange platform, with integrated quality assessment. It currently facilitates spot-trading and re-auctioning in agri-commodities including cardamom, onion, garlic, pomegranate, apple, potato, and tomato. Praman is building a much-needed quality layer between farmers and traders to accelerate and accomplish the digital transformation of Indian agriculture. Within a few months since its launch, Praman has already achieved a monthly Gross Transaction Value (GTV) of USD 40 million. Praman has successfully re-engineered auctions and trade through AI-based quality assessment, making them data-driven and digital. As a truly digital exchange platform, Praman breaks the limitations of the current manual processes, automatically generating quality reports which are fed directly into the exchange platform. Besides automating workflow, Praman makes data on the quality of the agri-produce remotely accessible, allowing traders to participate in real-time from anywhere, without the need to be physically present at auctions or market yards. "We are pleased to give the entire trading process a digital makeover, driving geographic expansion and market outreach. This initiative is one more step in establishing Intello Labs as a leader in agritech and innovation," said Milan Sharma, co-founder, and CEO of Intello Labs. "We’ve set the path to automation and standardization in the industry. It is only a matter of time before the convenience, speed, and efficiency of Praman set the path for the future of digital agri-trade." As an example, size, colour, and defects are a few primary quality criteria considered during cardamom grading. The subjectivity of manual grading causes drastic fluctuation in pricing decisions during auctions. Intello Labs’ quality assaying technology brings over 95% accuracy to cardamom quality grading as opposed to about 70% using manual methods. This objectivity and precision make fairer pricing and true price discovery possible for both the grower as well as the trader, an unprecedented benefit. "I can see what grade my produce is and see the bidding live. Now I can also withdraw my produce from the auction and put it for re-auction if I am unhappy with the auction prices as compared to my quality and the rest of the growers' quality. This is brilliant," - Vasu, a cardamom grower from Theni, TN. Agricultural trade is shifting from physical to digital, and Praman is accelerating this digitization. Praman is rapidly growing for all commodities and expects to hit a Monthly Gross Transaction Value of USD 100 million within the next two quarters, which will make it the largest agri-trade exchange in India. About Intello Labs Intello Labs is a global, AI-powered quality-assaying agritech startup. With a presence in India, the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Intello Labs utilizes computer vision, machine learning, and AI to digitize food quality assessment and control.

  • The IPL 2021 - Season Shined with Valid Reason

    The IPL 2021 has concluded after a lot of hardships and breaks. Normally a timeout in the IPL is for 150 seconds, however, this one lasted for 140 days. But it was worth the effort. The only season which happened in two instalments was eventually clinched for the 4th time by the Chennai Super Kings. Author:- Ashwin Jangam (Cricket Analyst, host, poet, entertainer) Insta I'd:- cricket_creativity The first leg of IPL 2021 had RCB, CSK and DC in the hunt for the top 3. While the other teams were not in the top 3, they were contributing with the young Indian talent to look forward to the future. The first season had amazing matches, most of which were low scoring. But one match to remember was between CSK and MI, which was high-scoring as well as breathtaking. The 5 times champion won the match, chasing 222 with the big Man Pollard sending ball and the confidence of bowlers outside the park. The big break due to COVID halted the season but gave India new debutants. The likes of Sakariya, Gaikwad, Paddikal, Nitish Rana, Chakraborty, Rahul Chahar , K Gowtham made their debut in the Sri Lanka series in July owing to their performance in the first leg of IPL. The second leg started with CSK beating MI. It followed a lot of interesting matches and was also an emotional one for the fans as it was the last season of king Virat as a captain. While the top three teams in the first leg kept dominating the tournament, there was a mystery to follow for KKR. In a tale of resurrection, KKR, who had won only 2 matches in the first leg, won six matches in the second leg to qualify for the playoffs. While Sunrisers Hyderabad was already out of the tournament, the other 4 teams viz, PBKS, MI, RR, KKR were fighting hard for the playoffs. Out of the four, RR was inconsistent with their performance, PBKS heavily depended on their skipper Rahul, MI was consistently playing bad cricket and KKR was playing as a proper team unit moving forward. Competition became exciting in the last 4 days for the 4 th contender of the playoffs. It was in these matches, the last two of MI when the 5 times trophy winners played like a champion when it seemed almost impossible to make them to the playoffs. A victory in their penultimate game with 70 balls to spare against RR, kept their hoper alive, throwing RR and PBKS out of the hunt for playoffs. Then it was KKR who won the match against RR with a huge margin to almost secure their place. In the last game, MI amassed a total of 235 runs , winning the match, but failing to qualify thereby confirming the place of KKR in the playoffs. The playoffs were nail-biting as CSK won the match against DC in the last over. KKR defeated RCB in the eliminator and, then DC in the second qualifier for the final. In the final, however, the experienced team CSK won the game against KKR comfortably, lifting the title for the 4th time. This season of IPL was special for several reasons. But the most impressive thing about this IPL was the dominant performance of the Indian youngsters. The orange cap holder Ruturaj Gaikwad, who recovered from COVID before the first leg was outstanding in the season. Also the purple cap holder, Harshal Patel was a man to watch out for this season. Along with these youngsters, a flurry of youngsters, witl the likes of Venkatesh Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Avesh Khan, Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shahrukh Khan and many others along with the debutants in India Sri Lanka series for India, impressed everyone with their scintillating performances. In a nutshell, I would say, this IPL was true "Indian" Premier League dominated by the young Indian cricketers, who are stars of the future. Let's hope we see the same in the upcoming season of IPL. This is all we have for this season. Congratulations to the winners, Chennai Super Kings. Thanks for your response to these columns. We will bring such coverage for the next edition as well but there is a lot that is going to happen before that. As we are excited about the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. So, see you there.

  • Translate your vision into reality: Linkedin Feed From Arunima Jha

    When I became a lawyer, I didn’t really know whether I wanted to be a business transaction lawyer or serve as a litigator. I believe in creating streamlined services. For the most part, the clients will have very specific problems, so my focus is to provide that one solution that is specific to those problems. Many times, lawyers will have several practice areas targeting to capture everyone with an aim to drive the revenue. Streamlining helps you make your service more efficient. Every great company has one thing that they're best at like Nike is good at shoes. At the beginning of my career, I tried to be broad, working on contingency and working on cases that weren't really effective. Saying No is sometimes more important than saying Yes. I am not saying that you shouldn't explore new things but what I mean to say is that try new things under the umbrella of your limited practice area. Let's talk about branding and the marketing process. It has to be focused. Aiming at growing your business and your demonstration to be able to generate revenue through your services is really imperative. Like for me as a lawyer, I categorize my work into the following parts - 1) Problems - what are the problems we are talking about? 2) Benefits - Benefits of my services. 3) Results - what are the results of applying for the benefits? It's about putting your Client first. I have expertise in solving your problem and I am your go-to guy. Essentially you have to be the Gandalf to Frodo, Obi-Wan to Luke Skywalker, you're the movie writer to the hero. You have to strengthen your skills and focus your strength and ideas to help solve your Client's problems. I am really passionate when it comes to my work, I feel very blessed to be a lawyer; control my destiny. The constraint doesn't really apply. Think outside the box. It's very important to know whom you're serving and how to solve the problems. I believe in solving problems rather than just being a business lawyer. For me, there are important components - clients and their trust. The first part is easy but the second part i.e. Faith is by far the trickiest part. For gaining faith, show proof of your work. Testimonials of your previous clients, your work is all that matters. Show proof of your work again and again. That's gonna build your reputation amongst your Client. Try getting micro-commitments. Micro commitment is an easier task than getting your Client to write long feedback about you. I am talking about the traditional approach, I am talking about onboarding newer clients and serving them with better, more streamlined services. It doesn't have to be transactional in particular, it can be applied to any kind of service.

  • TRANSFER WINDOW 2021- THE MOST SHOCKING ONE? By Swapnil Valvi

    The 2021 summer transfer window of football has seen some unexpected moves that nobody thought of will happen. Some pundits are saying this is the most shocking transfer window in football History since some big names are involved in the business. Let's have a look at some big deals that happened this summer. Article Courtesy: Swapnil Valvi Lionel Messi Paris Sain-Germain has bolstered their squad with the most powerful trump card in the football world. Nobody was expecting the move of Lionel Messi will come into the picture since the Argentine was so loyal to Barcelona that he was ready to take a pay cut of 50% than his actual salary. This was confusing for football fans because Barcelona was ready to announce Messi till 2026 with only 2 years of salary for 5 years, but on the afternoon of the day of the announcement the statement of La Liga arrived and the deal collapsed. According to regulations of La Liga, “Barcelona was 1.5 million US dollars in debt and it will never happen that a player is paid 2 years’ salary for 5 years. That can not be called sporting income. The salary fund should not exceed 70% of the club’s total income.” According to this regulation, Barcelona can only invest 25% of the fund in the transfer market and renewing the player contracts. La Liga cleared Barcelona that they can not proceed with Messi registered in their squad. Paris Saint-Germain grabbed the opportunity and within two days they made their move. The race was between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain for Messi but since Manchester City had already spent big money on only one player so they stepped back. Messi will receive a huge bonus according to clause if Paris Saint-Germain wins the UEFA Champions League this season. Sergio Ramos Last year Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain committed through Twitter that if Paris Saint-Germain manages to reach to UEFA Champions League final, he’ll sign both captains of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Paris Saint-Germain didn’t manage to secure their place in the final but Nasser did sign Messi-the captain of Barcelona, but before that he signed Sergio Ramos-the captain of Real Madrid. Ramos had an excellent career with Real Madrid for 16 years with 22 trophies including 5 league titles and 4 Champions League titles Ramos left Real Madrid as a club Legend. Real Madrid was wanted to offer one year contract with a 10% of pay cut whereas Ramos agreeing on the pay cut but wanted the contract for two years. The negotiation didn’t go well as Ramos was taking more time negotiating. It will be interesting to watch him teaming up with his arch-rival Lionel Messi. Romelu Lukaku Inter Milan was denying every possibility about Lukaku leaving the club but in the end, Chelsea managed to get their player back into the Premier League. The reunion of Lukaku and Chelsea is interesting because Chelsea was missing the target man for upfront in the Line-up and now they have got probably the best Target Man in the World. The deal settled with 115 million euros which makes Lukaku the second most expensive signing of the summer transfer window 2021. The Seria A winner will try to continue his form and goal-scoring ability in the Premier League and if he does, Chelsea will be unstoppable and with absolute certainty the strongest title contenders. Cristiano Ronaldo “Close your eyes, and he never went away!” these were the words of commentator Peter Drury when Cristiano Ronaldo scored his comeback debut goal against Newcastle. Yes, Romelu Lukaku isn’t the only one who is reuniting with his old club in the Premier League. The streets of Manchester went crazy with the celebration of Manchester United fans as Manchester United announced the return of Cristiano Ronaldo. Another forward from Seria A is also the top scorer with 28 goals and will definitely light up Manchester according to experts. Ronaldo Returns to united with a relatively cheap price tag of 15 million Euros but he will try to end the season with some silverware. Jack Grealish After playing the almost entire season without no. 9, Everyone was expecting that Pep Guardiola will go for a strong striker in this transfer window. Jack Grealish was never off the target for City but they were prioritizing Harry Kane for the no. 9 position. As soon as Harry Kane’s deal collapsed Manchester City’s potential targets were Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo cleared his intention that if he comes to Premier League, he’ll only join Manchester United. On the other side, Bayern had no intention to let go of Robert Lewandowski. Lionel Messi was an option since Guardiola admires the Argentine and he was ready to reunite with Messi, but the transfer talks were going at the time when Barcelona was confident about they’ll keep Messi. Manchester City finally made their move for Jack Grealish after they failed to sign a striker for the club. Jack Grealish is the most expensive player of the summer 2021 transfer window. Total 117 million Euros paid by Manchester City for the Englishman and former Aston Villa’s versatile midfielder. It is obvious that he’ll strengthen the Manchester City side but according to some pundits, it was unnecessary spending since Manchester City already have talented wingers like Sterling, Mahrez, and young Phil Foden.

  • THE PRIDE AND SORROW OF CHESS -Paul Morphy

    It’s very odd when you hear sorrow and pride in the same sentence. But when it came to discussing Paul Morphy, it is very justified. Paul Morphy is the first star of the chess world. He was very talented in the rapid build-up. He was the greatest chess player of his era with an unofficially second chess world champion’s crown on his head. Well, this is the part of ‘Pride’. He retired too early in his young age and his chess career was disrupted by the American Civil War in 1861. Let’s see his journey. Paul Morphy was born on June 22, 1837, and he was an American chess player considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era and an unofficial world chess champion. He was the chess prodigy. Morphy was born in New Orleans Louisiana to a wealthy and distinguished family. He learned to play chess by simply watching games between his father and uncle. His family soon recognized the boy's talent and encouraged him to play at family gatherings and by the age of nine, he was one of the best players in New Orleans. At just 12 years of age, Morphy defeated the visiting Hungarian master Johann Löwenthal's in a match of three games. Morphy’s family invited Löwenthal to their home to play a match with young Paul Morphy. In the First game, Morphy has shown a wonderful game against Löwenthal’s modern Petrov Defence. Morphy sacrificed two pieces for a Rook and was shown the best Rook-Pawn endgame and won the game in 55 moves. Löwenthal was surprised by the 12-year-old Morphy’s moves. Morphy has again shown his skills and techniques against Löwenthal’s Sicilian Defence and immortal Dark Square Bishop. The third game’s records weren’t saved but this match was enough to know Morphy was a Chess Prodigy. The inaugural Chess Congress was held in New York when Morphy was only 19 years old. At the time it was the strongest chess tournament in American history. The inaugural chess congress tournament took place on Broadway in New York City. Among those competing was the American chess champion Charles Henry Stanley, New York state champion Samuel Calthorpe, New York chess club champion Napoleon Marache and the German chess master Louis Paulsen. Morphy successfully moved through the first three rounds achieving a combined score of nine wins, no losses, and one draw. In those wins, the first game against master James Thompson was ended in just fifteen minutes. He defeated Alexander Meek in the second round. The semi-final was quite a show for chess fans. Theodore Lichetenhcin was the first player who made Morphy draw a game. The final round of the tournament was played between Morphy and Paulsen. Despite playing well in the first game Morphy suffered in the next two games. One of those final games lasted hours reportedly because Paulsen moved so slowly. Morphy’s unbeaten tag got vanished in the third game. By accepting the first defeat of his career, Morphy dominated Paulsen winning five games, and achieving a draw for the two games. Morphy travelled to London in 1858 intending to play Staunton. Howard Staunton was one of the Brilliant Chess players in Europe. Staunton agreed to the match and published the terms in the London Illustrated news. Morphy stayed at Staunton’s house. Staunton invited two of his friends who were legendary chess masters, Samuel Boden, and Mra Barnes. If you are a chess player you might be familiar with Boden’s mate, which was assembled by Samuel Boden with two bishops where one bishop slicing the one way and the other delivers checkmate. So, people had expectations from Samuel Boden to have the upper hand against Morphy; but the real challenge was given by MrMr Barnes. He was too aggressive player and he was the one who gave a real challenge to Morphy in Morphy’s entire chess career. Despite suffering against Mr. Barnes, he managed to defeat him and he demolished Samuel Boden. At Queens College in Birmingham England, Morphy played eight chess masters at the same time. They were led by Lord Littleton, President of the British Chess Association. Morphy won six games, lost only once, and tied another. The achievement understandably shocked the British chess world. After that Morphy sailed to France. While there he gave an eight boards blind simultaneous exhibition against members of the chess venue Café de la Régence, sitting alone for ten hours. He scored six wins, no losses, and two draws. He eventually won a repeatedly delayed match against the Café de la Régence champion Daniel Harrwitz. Morphy was a guest of Paris and accepted an invitation from the King and Queen of France, Emperor Napoleon the third, and Empress Eugenie. In Paris, Morphy suffered from a bout of gastroenteritis. Under the medical wisdom of the time, he was treated with leeches, resulting in his losing a significant amount of blood. Although too weak to stand up unaided, Morphy insisted on going ahead with a match against the visiting German master Adolf Anderssen, considered by many to be Europe's leading player. At that time Morphy was still aged 21. Despite his illness, Morphy triumphed easily, winning seven while losing two, with two draws. When asked about his defeat, Anderssen claimed to be out of practice but also admitted that Morphy was, in any event, the stronger player and that he was fairly beaten. Anderssen also attested that in his opinion, Morphy was the strongest player ever to play the game, even stronger than the famous French champion La Bourdonnais. Morphy was already considered the strongest player in the world and Staunton was accused of being a coward. Morphy played with the utmost honour, he never dodged a game, not even when sick, and never made any excuses. He was also known for his ability to adapt. He always treated his opponents with proper respect regardless of their disposition towards him. Morphy played anyone under any conditions. In matches, he accepted every term or demand from his opponents and made no demands in return, except one universal request, that the match is played for honour rather than stakes, a request to which only Anderssen agreed. Even playing blindfold against multiple opponents, Morphy always tried to obtain the strongest opponents. He seems to have more to prove to himself than to the rest of the world. In Europe, Morphy was generally hailed as a world chess champion. In Paris, at a banquet held in his honour on April 4, 1859, a laurel wreath was placed over the head of a bust of Morphy, carved by the sculptor Eugène-Louis Lequesne. Morphy was declared by the assembly "The best chess player that ever lived." At a similar gathering in London, where he returned in the spring of 1859, Morphy was again proclaimed "Champion of the World” in the presence of Queen Victoria. After returning home in late 1859, Morphy retired from an active chess competition. He joined Law office to work but was unable to successfully build a law practice. Despite his retirement from chess in 1859, Morphy was still generally considered world champion until Steinitz was awarded that honour after his victory at the 1873 Vienna Chess Tournament. Morphy lapsed into a state of delusion and paranoia, he believed that he was being persecuted by his brother-in-law. His best friend Charles Maurian noted in many letters that Morphy was “Deranged” and “Not right mentally”. In 1882, his mother, brother, and a friend tried to admit him to a Catholic Sanatorium, but Morphy was so well able to argue for his rights and sanity that they sent him away. On the afternoon of July 10, 1884, Morphy was found dead in his bathtub in New Orleans at the age of 47. According to the autopsy, Morphy had suffered a stroke brought on by entering cold water after a long walk in the midday heat. It's pointless to argue who was the greatest chess player of all time. In Morphy's case, it's sufficient to say that during his brief chess career he attempted to meet the greatest players available, and those he did meet; he beat on their own terms without so much as a close match. Morphy's legacy to the game of chess was extraordinary. Chess master Adolf Anderssen said, “I consider Mr Morphy the finest chess player who ever existed.” Emanuel Lasker is quoted as saying no one ever was so far superior to the players of his time. The first United States Champion Charles Henry Stanley named his daughter ‘Pauline’ in honour of Paul Morphy. And the great chess champion Bobby Fischer is reported to have said the following of Morphy perhaps the most accurate chess player who ever lived. The sorrow of chess history will always be that Paul Morphy ended his career so early despite having one of the greatest chess minds of all time.
