Game 241, Gossip, George Hatfeild–Mason, James, played April 25, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 307–308.

1. 7.Nf3 Perhaps White's best plan in this situation is 7 Kt—R4, and if 7...Kt x BP; 8 Kt x Kt, 8 B x Kt; 9 Q—Kt4, etc.
2. 8.Ne2 Hardly good, though not as dangerous as Black's reply would lead to believe.
3. 15.Nxc6 White has defended himself very ingeniously, but it was inadvisable here to strengthen the adverse centre by this exchange.
4. 24.a3 Unnecessary and weakening his Q side.
5. 25.f5 Very good to all appearance, as Black cannot well take the Pawn, but dangerous nevertheless, as it isolates the KP.
6. 25…c4 If 25...P x P; 26 Kt—Kt5, 26 P—KKt3; 27 P—K6, with a fine attack.
7. 30.Rxf8+ This and the next move invite disaster. R—B3 was by far better.
8. 34…Rf4 A very fine preparation for a winning ending. The object is not to let the adverse King cross at K3 without Black being enabled to exchange Rooks by R—K5 ch.
9. 39…Kf5 Black now easily exhausts the adverse waiting moves and wins the KP by force, after which his victory is assured, as will be seen.
10. 46…d3 Most beautiful and, no doubt, the result of forecalculations before exchanging Rooks.
