Game No. 303 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 371–372.

1. 4…a6 There is no better play at this juncture than to form the Double Ruy Lopez by 4...B—Kt5.
2. 10…Qf5 Not as good as 10...Q—Q4.
3. 12.Bg5 Initiating a pretty combination, but hardly as efficient, and even safe, as 12 Kt—Kt5.
4. 12…h5 For Black would have obtained the better game by 12...P—KR3; 13 P—KB4 (if 13 B—R4, 13 P—KB4, etc.), 13...P x B; 14 P—B5, 14 Q—R3; 15 Q—K2; 15 O—O—O; 16 P x B, 16 P x P, etc.
5. 14…Bd6 Best. If 14...B x Q; 15 Kt—B sq. double ch., and mates next move.
6. 17…fxg6 Nothing more than a draw should ensue from this position.
7. 22…b4 21 R—R4, with the view of offering the exchange of Rooks by R—Q4 if White took the KtP, was much superior.
8. 24…Rgc8 Loss of time. R—K sq. was the proper play.
9. 27…g5 His K side becomes very weak through this, and his Bishop loses support at an important post. K—B2 was the best plan.
10. 38…Bb7 Overlooking the adverse ingenious reply. B—Q4 would have drawn with ease.
11. 39…Kxd6 His game was gone. If 39...K—K2; 40 B x P, followed accordingly by R—R6 disch. or R—QKt6 disch., and wins. Or if 39...K—K sq. (of course he is mated if he play K—B sq.); 40 R—Q8 ch., 40 K—K2; 41 B x P ch., and wins in a manner similar to that which occurred in actual play.
