Game 269, Gossip, George Hatfeild–Judd, Max, played April 15, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 336–337.

1. 5…b6 The present form of this opening has not been much developed in practice and analysis, and the move in the text has to be taken into account in its theoretical examination.
2. 6.Bb5 6 Kt—B3, 6 P—QB4; 7 P—B5, was likely to lead to a lively attack. If, for instance, 7...QBP x P; 8 KKt x P, 8 Kt x P; 9 B—Kt5 ch., 9 B—Q2; 10 P x P, 10 P x P; 11 Kt x KP, etc.
3. 13.a3 B x B, followed by Q—K2, would have developed his game more rapidly.
4. 19.Qf2 He should have given no opportunity for exchanging Queens, as the opponent had the advantage for the ending on the QB file which he could soon open. K—R sq. was the right play.
5. 21.Nd4 Premature. He ought to have tried to obtain command of the square with one of his minor pieces, for which purpose Kt—K2 first was the move.
6. 33.b4 This advance is ruinous. 33 Kt—R3, and if 33...R—K7; 34 R—R sq. was decidedly superior.
7. 39…Nxe5 Black has four Pawns for the piece which he intends to give up for White's QRP, and that is more than enough.
8. 44…h4 After getting rid of the adversary's last Pawn his victory is only a matter of common care and attention.
