Morphy VS El duque de Brunswick y el Conde de Isouard

A continuación una de las partidas más famosas de todos los tiempos, citada innumerables veces en libros y revistas como ejemplo de la importancia del desarrollo rápido de las piezas.
Cuenta la historia que el duque, aprovechando la estadía del famoso jugador en Europa, lo invitó a la Opera de París para ver la obra "Norma", la cual había sido vista por el duque muchas veces por lo cual ya no tenía interés en la misma, en cambio Morphy tenía grandes expectativas en el espectáculo. De esta forma fue prácticamente obligado por el duque y su amigo el conde a jugar ajedrez, Morphy a pesar de mantener un ojo en la opera y otro en el ajedrez fue capaz de crear esta partida inmortal que todo aficionado debe conocer.

Smart Mobile Studio, the rise of compiled JS programming languages and why the future is happening right now.

They both try to fill the gap between an obscure and alien language like JS and the elegance and productivity of object oriented, garbage collected languages. If you (like me) miss some nice IDE with superproductive features that enable to build production quality JS desktop and server apps i recommend you to look no further at software giants like already mentioned Google and Microsoft the answer to your problems could be in a small, Norway based software shop. Smart Mobile Studio is the creation of a small team of programming gurus very well known inside the Delphi Community, did i say "Delp
