Game 196 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 253–254. Played in the first round at New York on April 3, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation.

1. 5.Na4 We much prefer B — Kt 5 at this juncture.
2. 10.Bxc6 This merely equalizes the game, whereas, P—B3 instead, would have retained a slight advantage of position.
3. 16…Re8 Unnecessary. 16...Kt—Kt4 was safe, for if 17 B x P, 17 P—KKt4; 18 Kt x P, 18 P x Kt; 19 R x R ch., 19 K x R, and White’s attack does not amount to much in comparison to the superiority of a piece on the other side, for which Black has only given up two Pawns.
4. 25…h6 We believe that Black's prospects of attack on the Q side were better than those of the opponent on the other wing, and he could at once proceed to concentrate his forces on the open QB file, commencing with B — QB sq. KR — R sq., with the view of exchanging Rooks by R — R8, was also better.
5. 27…Rac7 Feeble play. P— KKt4 made his game safe on the K side, and left him free hand for the attack on the other side.
6. 32…Bc6 The Bishop is here injudiciously removed from a good post to one on which he is of little use, and moreover obstructs his own Rook from getting into action again at QB2 or B sq.
7. 35.Ng5 This very clever coup decides the game in favor of White, whose skilful tactics on the K side for some time are highly commendable.
8. 36…Rf7 There was no good defence. If 36...B—Q2; 37 R—B2, 37 Q—Kt2 (of course, if 37...Q x R; 38 Q—R7 mate); 38 R x R ch., 38 K x R!; 39 R—B sq. ch., 39 K—K sq.; 40 R—B7, 40 Q—Kt sq.; 41 R—R7, and wins.
