Score
Game No. 402, printed pages 463, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 5.cxd5 KKt—B3 was now stronger, as Black could not well exchange without subjecting his King to harassement.
- 16.Ne2 Kt—B4, threatening Kt—B5, made it more unpleasant for the opponent.
- 21.Qd3 Here and on the next move Q—Q2 were better.
- 27…Qg7 An ingenious move for drawing purposes.
