Game No. 289 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 356–357.

1. 6.Bb5+ This and his next two moves are neither usual nor advantageous.
2. 8…Bc6 We should have preferred Kt—B3, threatening QKt—Kt5.
3. 16.c4 The reversal in the order of moves was injudicious. P—KKt4, first, would have given him an excellent attack.
4. 21…c4 Black has the attack for a little while after this, but his King becomes much exposed. He, however, could hardly help that, for if 21...B—B2 or —K2; 22 P—Q3, 22 Kt—Q3; 23 R—B sq., with a strong attack.
5. 25.d3 Still better was, we think, Kt—B3.
6. 34.Rb1 The waste of time incurred on this and the next two moves seriously imperils his game. KR—K sq. was obviously better.
7. 44…Rb4 Black’s defence and counter-attack are conducted in high style. He now wins a Pawn, with the superior game.
8. 52.Re6+ Winding up with a blunder, but his game could not be saved.
