Game 261, Judd, Max–Baird, John Washington, played April 3, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 327–328.

1. 7.Re1 New, we believe, in this situation and stronger than the more usual P x P.
2. 10.Be3 P—Q5, in order to weaken the adverse QBP, was better.
3. 11…Nc4 Here or on the next move Black ought to have advanced P—QB3 in order to secure his Q side.
4. 14…Bxf3 This exchange rather fortifies the opponent's game.
5. 17…f5 Altogether injudicious, in view of the attack to which he is afterward exposed.
6. 18.f3 Much better than 18 P x P, 18 Kt—QB4; 19 Q—Q sq., followed by Kt x QP or B—Kt4, accordingly.
7. 25…Ncd7 Kt—B4, followed by P—Kt3, was his best defence.
8. 26.Bf5 This and the next move are excellently devised and lead to a winning position.
9. 27…Nh5 If 27...P—R3; 28 B x P, 28 P x B; 29 R x P ch., 29 K—Kt2; 30 B—Kt6, and wins.
10. 29.Bxd7 His victory is now only a question of time.
11. 37.Nf7+ He regains, with large interest, the Pawn which he has very ingeniously sacrificed on the last move.
12. 48.Bf5 The termination is very pretty and is powerfully played by White.
