Morphy...The Reluctant Chess Player...The Unsuccessful Attorney
Morphy had no intention of being a chess player. He always treated chess like a side-activity. When he graduated from law school in 1957, he was 19 and a year and some months too young to practice law, so he played chess just to pass the time. Later he would become a full time lawyer and stop playing chess. His efforts of setting up a legal practice were not successful, and he ended up a very unhappy lawyer, void of his true passion, playing chess.
