Game No. 179 in Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 231–232 (PDF pages 283–284); headed "Played in the first round, April 5th."
- 6…Bb4 Kt — K2 is much to be preferred.
- 12.Nf5 White, in our opinion, had the advantage in position which he could still have improved by 12 P—KB4 at this juncture, for if 12...P—KR3; 13 BxKt, 13 QxB; 14 Q—K sq., 14 PxP; 15 RxP, and of course if 15...P—KKt4; 16 Kt—B5, with much the superior game.
- 14.g4 If 14 P—B6, 14 PxP; 15 BxP, 15 Kt (K2)—Q4; 16 B—R4, 16 P—KB3.
- 15.f4 But now that the Bishop could not eventually be attacked by Kt—Q4, as in the last variation, P—B6 was a good move which White could advantageously follow up by Q—B3.
- 17.fxe5 B — Kt 3 gained a move, for Black was bound to exchange Pawns sooner or later.
- 22.Rf4 The K file was the one on which to concentrate his heavy pieces, as seen later on.
- 39.h4 The opponent has indicated long ago by his movements that he would be satisfied with a draw, and White would have done better also to be content with the same issue. The move made has an aggressive appearance, but as the attack on the K side cannot be sustained, it only loosens his own Pawns on that wing.
- 46.Kd1 The march of the King to the other side is altogether injudicious and only affords the opponent opportunities. The King was better placed on the K side, as his weakened Pawns on that wing required additional support eventually.
- 50.Bxc5 After this exchange his position becomes weaker still, P—QR5 was anyhow better.
- 51…c4 Not as good by any means as 51...Kt—B2 at once, for if 52 P—Q4 (the move which Black evidently intended to prevent by the play in the text), 52...P—B5; 53 Q—K3, 53 Kt—R sq., with a winning attack.
- 52.Ba2 52 PxP, 52 QxBP; 53 PxP, followed soon by Q—Q3, was far better in playing for a draw, and no more could be expected by rights.
- 57…Qc3 Excellent play. He threatens Kt— Q6, followed by Q— K8 ch., if White guard the mate by Q — B2.
- 59.Kb2 If 59 Q— B sq., 59 Q— K5 ch. ; 60 Q— B2, 60 P x P, and should win.
- 62…Qg1 Better than 62...QxRP; 63 Q—B7, winning the QRP, after which White's QRP will become troublesome.
- 68…Qf8 After this Black has only to be careful not to allow the adversary a perpetual check which of course he guards against and then wins without difficulty.
