Game No. 359 in Wilhelm Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 426; played May 4, 1889. Steinitz's original notes follow.
- 20…d5 This mistake is cleverly shown up in White's next three moves. P—Q3 was the right play.
- 25…h5 Unaccountable. His only chance was clearly K x B. The opponent now maintains his piece, and the struggle, though somewhat prolonged, is a one-sided one.
