Adams with the white ones makes this long castling to sheathe his heavy artillery for the flank of the black king, but his king is seriously weakened and I think this was his mistake.

A strong attack by the whites against the black king, but their fragile white king did not withstand the counter-attack of the blacks and fell flattened with an imminent checkmate.
