Yes, without knowing the world of chess or morphy it is difficult to understand the quote.

In his defense I don't think morphy intended for people outside the chess world as a general statement.

Indeed. I didn't mean to attack Morphy, I just interpreted the quote on its own, thinking it was made by some random person (in different places in the thread people had quoted various writers etc. not necessarily great chess players).
