White should have played 22.Nf1. After that, he would be able to meet...Ne6 with Ra4. But now, White's rook does not have a good square to retreat.

This move is too slow. The correct reaction for Black is 13...a6 14.Bf1 b5, intending ...c6.

The black queen is not only powerful in herself, but is also affecting the energy level of other pieces. Thus she shuts in the white bishop on c1 and prevents d2-d4, which would curb the scope of the black bishop on c5. As will be seen, in a general sense all of Black's pieces are vitalized by her presence on a commanding square. An intriguing positional battle now begins. Paulsen strives to evict the black queen from her dominant position, when he hopes to emerge with the better game thanks to his superior pawn structure. In contrast, Morphy wants to use the energy of his queen to generate decisive tactical threats against the white king before she can be driven away.

A surprising error for the supreme tactician Morphy.
He should have played 15...Bb7! , keeping the white queen out of a6.
16.Ra2? (16.Qa6!) 16... Rae8-+.
