Game No. 431, printed pages 488, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 10…g5 He ought to have developed B—K2, followed by O—O already a few moves ago, and his position was then a little preferable.
- 14.Qh7 White plays all this remarkably well, and he now forces the game in a few moves.
