Score
Game No. 427, printed pages 484–485, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 9.d4 He could have also captured at once either BP and remained with a Pawn ahead, but probably Bishops of opposite colors would have ensued after the exchanges, with a drawy game.
- 10…Qh4 A fearful blunder which loses a piece. His game is, of course, untenable against ordinary play.
- 38.Ne4 He could have safely cleared the Pawns on the Q side.
