Game 266, Judd, Max–Burille, Constant Ferdinand, played May 13, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 332–333. Printed notes (h) and (i), the latter attached to resignation, are combined after 34 B—B8.

1. 11…Nxd4 Kt—R4 was a better defence. If, however, 11...Q—Q2 (or 11...Kt x KP; 12 P—K6, and wins); 12 Kt x B, 12 Q or P x Kt; 13 R x Kt, and wins.
2. 12…h6 Otherwise the Knight is lost by P—B3, followed by P—KR4.
3. 16…b4 He had hardly any better move. If 16...Kt—R2; 17 P—B5, 17 B—QB sq.; 18 Q—Q3, 18 B—Kt4; 19 P—B6, 19 P—Kt3; 20 Q—Kt3, with a powerful attack.
4. 17.fxg5 Kt—R4 was, we believe, stronger play.
5. 18…g6 He is now two Pawns to the bad and cannot hope to retrieve himself. 18...P x KtP was surely his only chance. White could not then venture at once on a direct attack against the K wing. If, for instance, 19 P x P, 19 P x B queening; 20 Q—R5 (or 20 Q—Q3, 20 Q x B, and wins), 20...P—KB4; 21 P x P en pass., 21 Q x B; 22 R x B, 22 Q—R2; 23 P—B7 ch., 23 K x KtP, and should win.
6. 22.g3 This seems useless, and Q—R5 at once was more to the point.
7. 30.Bxa6 He might have aimed at higher game by 30 QR—KB sq., with the likely continuation, 30...R—Kt7; 31 P—R7, 31 R—K sq. (if 31...R—KKt2; 32 R x B, 32 Q x Q; 33 R—K8 ch., and wins); 32 P—R5, with a fine attack.
8. 34.Bc8 A very beautiful and decisive move. For if 34...B x B; 35 R x B, 35 R x R; 36 Q—B6 ch., and mates next move. He could hold out for some time longer by 34...Q—R2, but White's superiority of Pawns and position was bound to win.
