Game No. 417, printed pages 475, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 21…Nxf1 Black has defended remarkably well and should have won easily but for this error. Kt x Kt, followed by P—KB4, would have broken the adverse attack, and Black remained a piece ahead.
- 28…Bg6 P—B3 was better.
- 29…Qb6 P—KB4 would have won still.
