You took a quote out of context, then admitted it later.

And yet you still claim that your point is correct if quote is taken out of context.

Its shifting goalpost fallacy.

I didn't take a quote out of context, the context was not provided. There is no a priori expectation that somebody should read a Wikipedia page to find out the missing context behind a quote.

There's no fallacy here. I have my opinion, I stand by it regardless of the quote's context. I understand that Morphy didn't mean what I thought he meant. It's just that my opinion on the usefulness of chess is still the same.
