When you try to be Paul Morphy

I don't normally spend much time on my moves in daily games, but when I got the following position on the board, I spent like 5 minutes calculating:

I know there's an option to use an analysis board, but I don't do that because I want to train my calculation. 

I eventually played the move b3!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (actually just ??)

OK so I won the game, but it wasn't the Paul Morphy-esque brilliancy I had hoped for.

so you failed to calculate the castling line

I dunno,if I were your opponent I would have castled too instead of getting greedy

I think he just thought he would lose the knight on e7 so he chose to take on e6

Isn't the rook hanging?
