Game 228 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 293–294. Played in the second round at New York on April 20, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation.

1. 11…h6 The advance of this Pawn is the cause of his trouble at the end of the game. Kt — K sq. was preferable.
2. 12.h3 White’s advance of this wing Pawn has also an attacking object, and he intends to push the KtP at the earliest opportunity.
3. 18…Kh8 Feeble. Q—Kt4, followed by KR—QKt sq., was the right play and left the game still even.
4. 20.Nc5 Black ought to have still challenged the exchange of Queens at Kt 4 on the last move. His omission is now severely punished by loss of ground.
5. 33.Qh4 White does not play a portion of this game with his usual decision, and he resorts sometimes to useless repetition moves. The plan which he ultimately adopts, namely, of advancing the Pawns on the K wing, could have been initiated here already.
6. 44…Ne4 His game was not to be saved at length, but this was just what White was waiting for, as it enables him to finish off with a few elegant strokes.
7. 48.f6 The termination is very beautiful.
