Abstract: We extend the combinatorial Morse complex construction to the arbitrary free chain complexes, and give a short, self-contained, and elementary proof of the quasi-isomorphism between the original chain complex and its Morse complex. Even stronger, the main result states that, if $C_{\ast }$ is a free chain complex, and $cm$ an acyclic matching, then $C_{\ast }=C_{\ast }^{c}moplus{T}_{\ast }$, where $C_{\ast }^{c}m$ is the Morse complex generated by the critical elements, and $T_{*}$ is an acyclic complex.
