Game 263, Bird, Henry Edward–Judd, Max, played April 1, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 330.

1. 8…Ne4 A development of the Q side was more in order.
2. 13…Nce7 P—Q5 would have isolated the adverse front KP and blocked the hostile QB with better prospects for Black's game.
3. 22…Qf8 The K side was better guarded if he had not crowded his heavy pieces on that wing and tried a diversion on the other flank by the advance of P—B5.
4. 23…g6 Unnecessary and weak.
5. 24…d4 It was much better to capture the centre Pawn, which either allowed him the time for the defence that his opponent required to recover the Pawn, or left him a Pawn ahead as some compensation for the attack which the adversary had anyhow.
6. 32…Rc3 Q—Kt2 first was stronger.
7. 37.e6 With his usual energy Mr. Bird grasps the winning opportunity.
