NAILING ANOTHER BRENNEN SMEAR   In sharp contrast to the explanation invented by GM Evans, I have read that the shoes so often talked about by pundits like our five-time U.S. Champ were in reality, Morphy's own (very small size) shoes, (and not in the bathroom).  The bath only comes up in discussions of Morphy's death, as that is where they found him dead.   Now the one problem here is that the phrase women's shoes was used, and in addition to there being a big difference in size between women's and men's shoes (Morphy's excepted), there must also have been a difference in _style_.  In sum, talk about the shoes might be better left to those who know what they are talking about, to Morphy's close relatives, perhaps.  OTOH, it is interesting to speculate that Morphy may have liked to have his shoes at-the-ready, laid out for *rapid deployment*, just the way he liked his chess pieces during play.
