Game 273, Judd, Max–MacLeod, Nicholas, played April 2, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 340–341. The repeated word “damages” in the first note is printed in the source.

1. 2…c6 Though this eccentric move does not cause any loss of material, it damages damages his position.
2. 3.Nc3 If Kt x P, Black will soon recover by Q—K2, followed by P—Q3.
3. 8…Be7 Losing a valuable Pawn.
4. 20…f5 An error which loses speedily, but his game was anyhow bad.
5. 21…Bxf6 This loses a piece, but even if he retook with the Knight, the reply Kt—Kt5, followed by B x Kt, would win the exchange, at least, for White.
6. 22.Bc4+ White has played throughout with much superior skill which asserts itself energetically to the winning end.
7. 26.Qxc8 More elegant would have been 26 B—Kt5, 26 Q x Q; 27 B x R, 27 Q—R4; 28 R x KtP disch., and wins.
