Harry Nelson Pillsbury vs Wilhelm Steinitz - London (1899)

[@MarcHeuer]

Steinitz as a huge fan of Morphy finally got a glimpse of how it might have felt to play against Morphy. Pillsbury's play in this game is amazing.

Pillsbury deserved to play for World Champion in that period, had existed the Candidates tournament I guess he could win it!
