  InspiredByMorphy: What a game! Both play well, but I prefer Steinitz's position by move 23. If only he had played 23. ... Re2 24.Qc4 Qc2, instead of the defensive 23. ... h5, he would have been up a pawn with whites rook trapped. Perhaps Lasker could have played 21.Re1 to solve such complications before they occured.
