Morphy-Steinitz match simulation

In the first game, Morphy chooses Evans' gambit. After 20 moves the position seemed balanced and the king's move to h8 safe, but white ingeniously developed his forces and black faced defeat. Morphy defeats Steinitz in his own style.

9. game. 7. game. Ruy Lopez, modern Steinitz defence. I think Steinitz lost time by placing the hetman on h3. Morphy showed off his genius by pushing the b-pawn even though the forces on the hetman flank were balanced.
