Game 217 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 279. Played in the second round at New York on April 19, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation. The book records that Black lost by exceeding the time limit after White’s 30th move.

1. 3…Nd4 A favorite defence of Mr. Bird.
2. 5…Qh4 The position forms no exception from others in the opening when, as a rule, it is inadvisable to bring out the Queen early in the hostile camp.
3. 6.Qf3 White ought to have Castled and sooner or later he would gain a move with his Knight via Q2—KB3, and in some contingencies he could advance P—KB4 before bringing the Knight out, with a good game in either case.
4. 7.Qxf6 Q — K2 was preferable.
5. 10.Bg5 The better plan was, we believe, P— KB4, followed by Kt— Q2 and Kt— KB3.
6. 10…Ng4 B— K2 was better.
7. 30.Nf3 An unsatisfactory result of a well-fought game which now stood pretty even still. Black might have now dissolved the doubled Pawn by P — Q4.
