Game No. 345 in Wilhelm Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 412–413; played April 29, 1889. Steinitz's original notes follow.
- 11.c4 A badly played opening further degenerates with this move which costs a piece.
- 35…Rxh2+ Black announced here mate in nine moves. The finish is worthy of a much better game.
