Result
1/2-1/2
Game No. 378, printed pages 444, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 3.Be2 White was a strong move ahead for any variation of the King's Gambit and should not have hesitated to accept it.
- 9…Bxc3 B—R4 was decidedly better.
- 15.Rg1 A strange termination at such an early stage, especially considering that Black had much the best of the game.
