Game No. 277 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 344–345.

1. 17.Bg5 The positions would have been fairly balanced but for this venture which turns out unfavorable, owing to the opponent's very ingenious play. R—K2 was the correct move.
2. 20.Nxf6+ He was bound to lose the exchange, but the sacrifice of a Rook, though he gets three Pawns for it and some attack, was not justified. P x Kt was his only good move.
3. 29…Qc4 Threatening R x B, followed by Q x RP ch.
4. 35…Bf5 Black sees in time the adverse ingenious trap. If 35...K—R2 at once; 36 P—B5, 36 B x P; 37 R x P, and wins. But we believe that Q—B3, followed by Q—B7, would have better answered all purposes.
5. 38…Rg7 Excellent and correct play which breaks all attack and produces a winning ending for Black.
6. 42.Qb7+ If 42 Q—Kt6, Black would win still more quickly by Q x RP ch., followed by Q—K8 ch. and Q x KP.
7. 43.g3 No better was 43 P—K7, 43 Q x RP ch.; 44 K—Kt sq., 44 K—Kt3, followed by K—B2, etc.
