Game No. 320 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 389–390.
- 5.Nce2 5 P x P, 5 P x Kt; 6 P x Kt, 6 Q x P; 7 P x P, 7 KB—QKt5; 8 B—Q2, 8 B x P; 9 R—Kt sq., is preferable.
- 5…Bd6 Not as good as 5...Kt—B3, and if 6 P x P, 6 KKt—Kt5, etc.
- 10.Ng3 10 Q—B2, 10 Q—K2; 11 B—Kt5, with the view of forcing on the QP and forming a strong centre, was better.
- 18.Nxg5 A grave blunder which costs at least one piece, and as his error consisted in his overlooking the force of Black’s 20th move, he loses another piece, after which Black has no trouble to win.
