Game No. 282 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 349–350.
- 8.Nxe5 As this gives Black an unobstructed majority of Pawns on the Q side at once, we cannot recommend this diversion from the usual course 8 P x P.
- 14…Rad8 The source of future trouble. He ought to have kept this Rook at R sq., in order to guard against White’s opening the QR file by P—QR4. P—QB3 was the move.
- 23.b4 An excellent move which quite neutralizes the adverse majority of Pawns on the Q side.
- 32…h4 The advance of this Pawn is hardly judicious. It leads to no more than an exchange on the wing on which the opponent is already superior in Pawns, and as will be seen, his King gets into difficulties in the ending in consequence.
- 41…Qf1+ Q—R8 ch. would have drawn with ease, for of course White could not then answer K—Kt4, as he would be mated at once by Q—R4.
- 43…Kg8 A fatal error. K—B3 or —K3 would have still drawn.
- 45.Qe5 A beautiful move.
- 45…Kg8 If 45...Q—R3; 46 Q—K7 ch., 46 K—Kt sq. (or 46...K—R sq.; 47 Q—R4, and wins); 47 Q—Kt6, followed by P—B6, winning.
- 48.Kh6 The termination is played by Mr. Judd with acute ingenuity.
