This is one of the first games of Steinitz I studied. I like it because I'm weak at calculating variants. While I studied this game, I learned how important the positional game is. Steinitz doesn't castle, but he takes the initiative and he attacks: it seems he doesn't need to calculate because he know the position very well!
