Game No. 164 in Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 212–213 (PDF pages 264–265); headed "Played in the first round, April 12th."

1. 8…Be6 Black is making preparations for O—O—O, but he would have been more safe by taking shelter on the other wing at once, followed by P—KB3, at the earliest opportunity.
2. 10…f6 Anyhow premature. O—O was still best, but if he intended O—O—O, he should not have delayed it now.
3. 12.Ba3 Well played. He restricts thereby the adverse option of Castling, being sure of a strong attack on the other side on account of the open QKt file.
4. 15.Ba6 This very beautiful stroke has evidently been played for and well prepared with White's last two moves. See Diagram.
5. 15…Na5 Clearly if 15...BxQ, he loses a piece by 16 BxP ch., 16 K—Kt sq.; 17 BxKt disch., 17 K—B sq.; 18 BxQ ch. and PxB.
6. 16.Bxb7+ In most excellent style, and showing genius of a very high order,
7. 17…c6 If 17...Q—B2; 18 RxKt, 18 K—Q2; 19 Q—Kt5 ch., and wins.
8. 18.Bd6 White's conduct of the attack up to this cannot be improved upon,
9. 20.Qb8+ But with this White somewhat spoils a beautifully played game. The fine coup de repos, 20 Kt—B4, would have left Black no escape from mate in a few moves.
10. 23.Nxd5+ This leads to a rather prosaic end of a most ingeniously conducted attack.
11. 23…Kg5 He ought not to have allowed the check with the Bishop, which afterwards, on the 28th move, enables White to win the QBP. K — Kt 5, would have made a better fight of it ; but, of course, his game was lost by proper play on the other side.
