Also, I spent some time studying that Morphy game in detail about 10
years ago, and another difference between the Morphy game, and the other
two, is that Morphy's opponent was a much weaker player. The other two
games are played by more evenly matched grandmaster level players.

Something curious...

This is fascinating, thanks for posting it! I'm a big fan of board
games, and while I know how to play chess, it's always resisted my
efforts to become anything other than mediocre at it.
What fascinates me is how different the old master games sound when
compared to the Fischer/Spassky game. It seems fitting given the
wild style of play Fischer was known for. It just seems right that
his game gives a much more atonal melody.
