Game 219 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 281–282. Played in the second round at New York on April 22, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation. The printed score ends with 62 Qd8+ and “mates next move.”

1. 10.b4 White's QBP, as well as his QRP, is here weakened and holes are formed on the Q side that afterward cause much trouble.
2. 11.Ng5 The attack on the K side here commenced makes no serious impression.
3. 16…g6 Not a good move nor necessary. Sooner or later White would have been bound to withdraw the Queen from her present post where she could do no good.
4. 17…Bc8 Also useless. Kt — Q2 at once was preferable.
5. 27…Nc4 Black has extricated himself from his difficulties and assumes the attack on the weakest adverse point. His manœuvring for that object was excellently devised.
6. 28.Nb3 It was hardly advisable to give up the Pawn, and B — R sq. was his best move.
7. 29…Rxc5 There was no necessity for this doubtful sacrifice. 29...P—QR4; 30 Kt x B, 30 Kt x Kt; 31 P x P, 31 Kt x P were good enough to maintain the Pawn, with the superior game.
8. 31…Bc6 Loss of time.
9. 34.Bxc4 This opens the long diagonal for the adverse QB. Q — B4 was superior.
10. 40…a4 White’s clever answer at once demonstrates the weakness of this. B—Kt2, with the view of advancing P—QKt4, was better.
11. 50…Qc5 After a long, hard struggle the crisis has arrived. Black was bound to provide against the threatened Kt—K4, but Kt—B4 was better for the purpose. His game is greatly imperilled by abandoning the KRP.
12. 53…b4 Black finds himself one move short in his combination when his plan comes finally into effect.
13. 60.Ne4 Most powerful and beautiful, and no doubt the outcome of a previously worked-out deep combination. See diagram.
14. 61…Kb6 If 61...K—R3; 62 Q—R sq. ch., 62 K—Kt4; 63 Q—R5 ch., 63 K—B5; 64 R—B4, and wins.
