(...) I'm not sure if calculation is typical for Morphy. I think, it was more the good evaluation of the active positions he reached, i.e. after sacrifices in the opening (which his opponents almost never rejected). He played dynamical, to reach an attacking potential quickly. Before Morphy, I think this was known from gambit opening lines (only), which could be analysed completely beforehand, but not in the way Morphy could do it intuitively at the board without specific preparation for the postions each. I've noticed The King likes to sacrifice pawns during the opening too, for better developement. Looks "morphy-like" to me; in both the following 2 games The King 3.12d, with an alternative setting, sacs 2 pawns in a row each (the engine, not the book!). In the first one, King allows Black cxd4/dxc3/cxb2 like in some theoretical gambits. Unfortunately this game is lost.
