Oct-09-05  who: Fritz gives 50.Kc4! Kc8 51.Bd5 as winning. Instead Rxb7 loses as shown.
Oct-05-06  sneaky pete: 57.Ke5 .. is the decisive mistake. Löwenthal gives the drawing line 57.Kd5 h2 58.c6+ Ke8 59.Ke6 h1Q 60.d7+ Kd8 61.c7+ Kxc7 62.Bxh1 Kd8 63.Bb7 .. (63... a5 64.Kf5 .. etc). Steinitz' self confidence was ahead of his chessical capabilities in these early years, I believe.
