Game 216 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 278. Played in the first round at New York on March 26, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation.

1. 4…Be7 For the second player this is the best place for the Bishop in this opening. Some masters adopt this development for the KB even when they have the first move.
2. 13.Ne5 White could break all attack against the K side by B—R6, forcing the exchange of the adverse KB that has such a bearing against the K wing.
3. 19.f3 His KP becomes weak and the source of trouble. No doubt he had to guard against R x R, followed by Q x BP ch., but he could better do that by B x Kt, followed by Q—R3 and afterward Q—Kt3. His Knight was then a strong fixture in the centre that would have kept a commanding position up to the ending.
4. 23.Nf5 An ill-advised manoeuvre that ultimately imperils the Knight. Anyhow, he ought to have exchanged Rooks first before adopting this sortie.
5. 28.Qh4 A fatal error. Q — B sq. was now his only move.
6. 31…g5 Black has cleverly played for winning the piece and now attains his object. The game is virtually over after this.
