Game No. 185 in Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 239–240 (PDF pages 291–292); headed "Played in the second round, April 22d."

1. 7…bxc6 Not as good as 7...KtxKt, with the following probable continuation: 8 O—O, 8 B—Q2; 9 R—K sq., 9 O—O—O; 10 RxP, 10 P—QR3; 11 BxP, 11 Kt—Kt5, and should win.
2. 8.Be2 B — B4 was no doubt much better.
3. 11.Bc4 8 P—Q3, 8 P—KB4; 9 PxP, 9 PxP; 10 B—B3, were far superior.
4. 13…Bxh3 This is hazardous play, and all the more unjustifiable as Kt—B5 was evidently much stronger, for White could not take the two pieces on account of the ultimate Q—Q8 ch.
5. 14.Qxc6 Failing to perceive the right answer which was 14 B—K2, for if 15...Q—R3; 16 PxB, 16 QxRP; 17 B—Kt4, 17 Q—R3; 18 QxBP, and should win.
6. 18.Re6 There was no necessity for this and the subsequent sacrifice of the exchange, and he could have safely retreated R—K3.
7. 19…Kxd6 Finely played and giving Black a much better prospect of escaping from a series of checks than PxR.
8. 26.c5 This error loses at once. He could hold out for some time at least by 26 Q—Kt3, 26 Q—K3; 27 P—B5, and if 27...Kt—B5; 28 P—B6.
9. 26…Ba6 Well played and decisive. It prevents the Queen from protecting the Bishop at B4.
10. 36…Rxf1+ An excellent finishing stroke which wins another piece.
