Game No. 175 in Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 225–226 (PDF pages 277–278); headed "Played in the first round, April 10th."

1. 5.e5 This advance subjects him to disadvantage. 5 P x QP was the correct play.
2. 6…d4 With excellent judgment Black cuts off communication between the two wings for the adversary and isolates White's KP.
3. 11…Ngxe5 Black energetically utilizes his opportunity of winning a Pawn and reducing forces for the end game.
4. 12.Bxe5 12 KtxKt instead, would have made a considerable difference in his favor, for after 12...KtxKt; 13 Q—K2, 13 O—O; 14 QxKt, 14 QxQ; 15 BxQ, 15 R—K sq.; 16 P—Q4, 16 P—KB3; 17 B—B4 ch., 17 B—K3 (or 17...K—R sq.; 18 O—O, 18 PxB; 19 B—B7, recovering his Pawn with the superior game, for if 19...R—K2; 20 Kt—Q5, and wins); 18 BxKBP, 18 BxB disch.; 19 B—K5, 19 B—Q3; 20 O—O—O, and though he must lose a Pawn, he will have a better game than in actual play.
5. 24…h6 The hole here unnecessarily formed makes it difficult for him subsequently to prevent the entrance of the adverse King on this wing. R—B2 was better.
6. 30…Re3+ Loss of time. 30...R—Q2, and if 31 R—K2 ch., 31 K—Q sq., followed by P—QB3, opened the Q side for his King, and he was bound to win one of the adverse Pawns on that wing, which decided the game.
7. 37.Re2 White fights ingeniously, though overweighted in material as well as strength of the opponent. He saves both Pawns for a time, for whichever Black might take, White would discover check by removing the King, and win the Rook.
8. 37…Kf7 Very much superior was 37 K — Q2, as his King had then more liberty to enter on the Q side, and the gain of a Pawn was certain anyhow.
9. 48.Rg6 48 K—B5 at once might have prolonged the fight, but could do no more if Black answered P—QB4, followed by R—QB3 in answer to RxRP.
10. 50…Kc6 Black's victory is now clearly established.
