Game No. 406, printed pages 466, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 12.c4 As usual, White gets a bad game in this opening. If 12 R x P, 12 QB—KB4; 13 R—K3 (or 13 R—K sq., 13 KR—K sq., followed by B—Q6), 13...B—B5; and if 14 R—B3, 14 KR—K sq., with a fine attack.
- 12…f5 QB—KB4 was preferable.
- 15.b3 P—Q3, followed by Kt—B4, would have released him, with a probable draw.
- 24…Bc6 B—K5 was more decisive.
