Game 243, Hanham, James Moore–Mason, James, played May 7, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 309–310.

1. 11…d5 Inconsistent with his last move. He had no need to form a hole at his K4, and P—QB4 was quite safe and good.
2. 23…Rc8 Black has ably pursued the Q side attack, but, as usual, the QKt file is the one on which he will be likely to force a breach, and he ought to have occupied the same at once by R—QKt sq.
3. 28.h6+ Useless, and even bad. His only chance of counter-attacking the adverse operations on the other wing consisted in his keeping a menace open on the K side which he now deliberately closes for all his pieces.
4. 34…Bxe5 Playing for a draw and hardly much called for, considering the strength of his position on the Q wing and the security of his own King in comparison with the unsettled position of the hostile monarch. After 34...B—Kt4 we would have greatly preferred Black's game.
