I couldn't think of a title that adequately matches my sentiments regarding this game. This game is beautiful. This game is historic. Steinitz didn't win the match- indeed, Lasker, true to his style of playing the opponent more than the board, soon found and exploited Steinitz's weakness in queenless middlegames when the match went to Philadelphia. Nonetheless, Steinitz was a formidable opponent, even in his advanced age. Even if the masters of old might be fodder to the average A-Class player nowadays, the World Champions, no matter the era, were always timeless.
