Game 191 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 246. Played in the second round at New York on April 29, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation.

1. 9…Nxd5 We prefer Q x P, followed as soon as possible by QB — KKt 5.
2. 11…Bb7 This Bishop is not well placed on this diagonal. B—KB4 would have had more bearing against the adverse Q side and also afforded more protection to his own K side.
3. 14…f5 This loses a Pawn without necessity. Kt—Kt3 was certainly better.
4. 15…fxe4 15...P x B; 16 B—Kt3 ch., 16 K—B sq.; 17 QKt—Kt5 would have lost the exchange.
5. 24…g6 Black plays more desperately than was called for by the situation. Though he was a Pawn behind, he held still a fair position. Kt — Q sq., followed by Kt—K3, was his best play.
6. 25.Bb3+ Winning another Pawn by force.
7. 25…Kh8 If K—R2, White would, of course, reply Q—Q7 ch.
8. 34.Be6 He sees through the adverse clever scheme. Better than 34 Kt—B7 ch., 34 K—R4; 35 Kt x B, 35 P x B; 36 P—QKt4, 36 Kt—B5; 37 Kt—B6, 37 P x P, threatening P—K6, and Black, though the exchange behind, has still some fight left.
9. 42…g5 It was all hopeless, and he could only speculate on some blunder on the part of the opponent, which, however, does not occur.
