Game 260, Baird, David Graham–Judd, Max, played April 19, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 326–327. Note (f) retains the source’s printed 45 P x P, although that capture is unavailable in the recorded position.

1. 10…Nf8 10...P—KR3; and if 11 B—R4, 11 P—B3, followed by Q—B2, was preferable.
2. 11…c5 An injudicious initiative of an attack which soon places his position at a disadvantage.
3. 24.Bc2 Long delay is caused after this in making his advantage clear. The much superior plan was to direct his attack against the weak QP by B—R3, followed by B—Kt2. He could then also bring the Knight to bear against that Pawn at K5 after removing Queen and Rook.
4. 32.Rf3 After some time limit repetitions White seizes the attack at the right point.
5. 38.Rg5 More simple and decisive was Kt—B6.
6. 44…b3 Just on the chance of an error, for in case White played 45 P x P, Black would win by P—Kt7.
