Game No. 290 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 357–358.

1. 13.Rac1 New and of doubtful utility, whereas the theoretical continuation 13 Kt—K5, maintains the attack.
2. 19…a6 In order to prevent P—R6, but we would have preferred 19...Kt—B3, making room for the strong B—Q4, and if then 20 Q—Kt4, 20 R—Kt sq., etc.
3. 21.Qa3 A feeble move. Kt—K5, followed eventually by Kt—QB4, was superior.
4. 23…Bxb1 Well played. The opponent cannot afford to give up three pieces, including a Rook, for the Queen.
5. 31.Qf3 White wastes here several moves. Q—QB5 was, we believe, his best play.
6. 39.f3 White would have done better on the previous move to accept the draw which the opponent offered by a repetition of moves, and he now punishes himself by a regular blunder which costs a very valuable Pawn.
7. 45…Qc4 45...R—K8 ch.; 46 K—Kt2, 46 Kt—K6 ch., would have won the Queen at once, for if 47 K—B3, then 47...Q—Kt6 ch.; 48 K—B2, 48 Q—Kt7 ch.; 49 K x R, 49 Q—B8 ch. mate.
