Relation?!

Hello.
What's the relation between the two clauses separated by comma?

Able to calculate with immense Speed and precision and possessing wonderful technique, Morphy played a wide—open, attacking game that made little use of pawns.
Thanks in advance

The part before the comma modifies or describes "Morphy". "speed" should not be capitalised. "wide-open" should have a hyphen, not a dash.

It means this:
Morphy could think quickly and precisely, and Morthy had wondeful technique.
Morphy's style of play was to have wide-open, attacking games (whatever that means) and he didn't use his pawns much.

You can't infer the "because." His thinking abilty and technique enabled his game play. That's not the same as causing it.

That's a correct paraphrasing in my opinion. If someone had his skills, they might take the same strategy.
