Game No. 300 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 368.
- 2…Nc6 In accordance with the spirit of this opening he should advance P—QB4 before bringing out this Knight to its present post.
- 8…h6 As usual we disapprove of these kind of waiting moves on either side.
- 9…Nxe5 This exchange subjects him to considerable attack.
- 15…b6 A grave error which compromises his game beyond remedy.
- 21.Be5 After this the manner of his winning becomes mere detail, but, as will be noticed, White infuses some life and spirit in his termination.
