Thinking of the immortal game Steinitz - von Bardeleben

When I was a teenager this immortal game made a lasting impression on me. Today I had the chance to echo ideas from that game in a blitz game of my own.

Here the moment that Steinitz started the amazing rook moves over the 7th rank.

And I would like to say thanks to IM Hans Bouwmeester who wrote a lot of small chess pocket books full of game annotations decades, from which I got a lot of chess ideas and inspiration.
