Score
Game No. 398, printed pages 460, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 10.e5 Supporting the centre by P—KB3 is generally best in similar positions.
- 20…Raa8 It was better to get rid of the hostile attack by KP x P.
- 42…c4 This spoils a good game. K—B2 should have been played first.
