Game 251, Martinez, Dion M–Mason, James, played May 20, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 317.
- 9.Nc3 9 P—QKt3, 9 B—K3; 10 Kt—Q2, with the view of forcing on the advance of the QBP, were more promising.
- 14.Rb1 Hardly of the least use, even if intended as a waiting move.
- 24…Qxe8 There was no more in the game for some time.
