Game No. 360 in Wilhelm Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 426–427; played March 28, 1889. Steinitz's original notes follow. Note (d) prints move number 29 for an analysis that belongs at move 39; the printed number is retained.
- 7.Bc4 This Bishop is not well posted here in this opening.
- 17.Bd4 He does not recover from the loss of a Pawn to which he now exposes himself. He should have retreated B—B sq.
- 32.Rd2 A pretty position. If 32 either R x P, 32 Kt—K7 ch.; 33 K—B sq.! (or 33 K—R sq. or —R2, 33 Q x Q, and wins), 33...Kt—Kt6 double ch.; 34 K—K sq.!, 34 Q x Q; 35 P x Q, 35 R—K8 ch., and wins.
- 39.Kf2 His game is untenable whatever he may do. If 29 R—B sq., 29 Kt—R6 ch., and wins.
