Steinitz showed poor form right off the bat, drawing this game, but could have lost if Czarnowski had found the correct move order.

43...Kg7? was a bad error because the obvious moves 44 h6+ Kg8 45 g7 Rf6 46 h7+ Kxh7 47 g8Q+ win for White after 47...Bxg8 48 Rh4+ Rh6 49 Rxh6+ Kxh6 50 Nxf5+ picking up the rook on d3.

Czarnowski played 44 Kh4 which took away the rook check, and Steinitz escaped, and won the second game.
