Game 259, Judd, Max–Baird, David Graham, played March 26, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 325–326.
- 7.d5 Not as good as 7 R—K sq.
- 10.g4 As usual such a premature attack leads to his discomfort on the K side.
- 16.a4 Usually good, but not in his present undeveloped condition where he only helps the adverse attack with this move. P—QB3, followed by B—B3, was his best plan.
- 29…Qxb2 Black's conduct of the Q side attack and the manner in which he finally gains an important Pawn on that wing is highly commendable.
- 55…Ke3 Black's march with the King is very fine Chess.
- 56.Kg3 Best. If 56 R—B4, 56 K—B5; 57 R x P, 57 R—Kt7 ch.; 58 K—R sq., 58 K—Kt6; 59 Kt—B sq. ch., 59 K x BP, with a winning game.
- 64…Ne6 After long and, in the main, very pertinent manoeuvring he has at last gained this very important square for the Knight, whence he will occupy the still more commanding post at KB5.
- 80…Kf2 A most remarkable and highly ingenious finish.
