Game No. 32, printed pages 42, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891). The printed playing date is May 2d. The printed score ends with 18 R x P ch. and states that White mates in two moves.

1. 4…a6 This loss of time contributes greatly to his early disaster.
2. 9.Qg3 In consequence of Black's dilatory 4th move this venture is now, we believe, sound. He sacrifices no more than the exchange virtually, as the adverse Knight that gains the Rook will remain imprisoned and ultimately be lost.
3. 12.Rf1 An excellent move that much increases the difficulties of the defence.
4. 16.Bg5 Prompt and energetic.
5. 16…Qe8 If 16...Q—Kt sq.; 17 R x P ch., and wins.
6. 17…Rg8 K—Kt sq. might have given him time for some further resistance, but his game was past recovery.
