Game 144 in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 186–187. The source dates the game April 18th, 1889. Original descriptive notation and printed analysis are retained.

1. 9…a6 With the object of playing QKt — R4, but of no use against White's answer.
2. 14.h3 Threatening to advance P — KKt 4, which attack Black evades by offering to exchange Queens.
3. 17.g3 Castling was preferable, and the entrance of Black’s Knight at KB5, which is prevented by the move in the text, would cause him less trouble than the hole which is formed at KB3 in consequence of this advance,
4. 22.Rh2 Weak and unintelligible. There was no reason against placing this Rook on its natural post at Q sq.
5. 29.Rd6 We would have preferred Kt — Q6, followed by the other Kt — KB5.
6. 31.Rd1 If Kt X P, Black would reply forcibly R— QKt sq.
7. 33.f3 Premature and the cause of great difficulties. 33 Kt (K3) — B5 was a good preparation for this move, and it also threatened to bring the King into play via K3, attacking the isolated KP once more.
8. 37…Nxe4 Much stronger was 37...R—B6; 38 Kt (R6)—Kt4, 38 Kt x KP; 39 R—R2, 39 R—Kt6, with a fine attack.
9. 46…a5 With this ill-considered move Black gives the victory out of hand. After 46...R—KR sq.; 47 Kt—R2, 47 R—R6; 48 Kt (K3)—B sq., White's pieces would have been all blocked and Black gained time to advance the KKtP, supported by the King.
10. 47.a4 A very clever answer that breaks the adverse Pawns on the Q wing.
11. 54.Rxd3 At the temporary cost of the exchange. White effects a draw now by a farsighted and cleverly-initiated combination.
