Wilhelm Steinitz title

Their first match here in the year of 1889 was the bloodiest in world championship history:  a single draw out of seventeen games! The second time around, there were still only five draws in twenty three games, but the Champion Wilhelm Steinitz retained his title only by slugging it out with the ferocious Russian player.
