Game Analysis Blunder Question
Your king was left vulnerable, it was better to accomplish the same task by castling long. Paul Morphy attacked in many ridiculous fashions, but never left his king exposed unless he calculated he'd checkmate first. So O-O-O was better, because it got the king to safety in time. Your opponent's queen was staring down the board and he could open it up. Castling to either side is not the player's choice whatsoever, it's about how the game shakes out independent of either side's overall desire.
