Game No. 357 in Wilhelm Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 424–425; played April 29, 1889. Steinitz's original notes follow.
- 10.b3 P—Q5 was stronger, as Black could not capture twice, for then White, after pinning by B—B4, could also bring Kt—B4 and Q—Q3 to bear upon it. P—QKt4 was also better.
- 18.Ng3 An error which is severely punished. B—B3, followed by B—Q2, was the right play.
- 20…Rh6 Beautiful and decisive.
- 29.Ke1 There was no better answer to White's last master-move, for if K x B, then followed Q—Kt6 ch. and Q—K6 ch., winning the Rook.
