Game No. 379, printed pages 444–445, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891).
- 8…Be7 Not as strong as B—Q2.
- 16.Re3 If 16 P—Kt3, 16 Q—Kt3, with a vehement attack.
- 24.Rxe3 B—K sq. or —B4 was a much better defence.
- 26.Bb2 This Bishop was more effective at Q2, both for defence as well as future attacking prospects.
- 34…Rexg2 The capture with the other Rook was superior. White's King could then be kept confined with one of the Rooks, while the other was sure to gain some Pawns.
