Game 268, Judd, Max–Delmar, Eugene, played May 3, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 335.
- 11.Bc2 11 Kt—Q4, 11 Kt—R4 (if 11...Q—Q3; 12 Kt x B, followed by R x Kt, and wins); 12 B—B2 was superior.
- 13.Bxe4 Not a good exchange. B—Kt3 was preferable.
- 22.Bg3 If 22 Kt x P ch., 22 R x Kt; 23 R x R ch., 23 K—B2, and should win.
- 28.h3 Weakening his K side still more.
- 33.Nf1 This exposes his Q side to a strong attack.
- 40…Bxb3 Black has very cleverly wrestled this Pawn from his opponent.
- 50…Nxc3 The adverse position is now untenable.
