Game No. 291 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 359–360.

1. 4.Nc3 It is best to treat this opening on the Giuoco Piano system by 4 P—QB3, and then Black’s KB is not well placed.
2. 20.Kh2 Kt—B5 was now the proper play in order to prevent Black from opening the KB file.
3. 25.Rg2 R—Kt3 was superior.
4. 37.Nxc5 Both parties have played a waiting game with little aim. The sacrifice of the piece is feasible and sound, for White obtains more than sufficient material for the piece given up, and he ought to have secured a draw subsequently, but still if he had taken into account the full effect on his position of Black’s ingenious 39th move, he probably would have hesitated in adopting this resource.
5. 39…Rc8 Very fine. He threatens Q x QP ch.
6. 44.Re1 R—R8 would have kept at least the adverse Rook engaged to defend the Knight and gave him better prospects of exchanges, after which his large majority of Pawns might have asserted itself.
7. 60…Rxh3+ The termination is beautifully played by Black.
