Game 234, Mason, James–Burille, Constant Ferdinand, played April 13, 1889, from Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 300.

1. 7.c3 This and the last move are not commendable.
2. 9…e5 Black has obtained the superior development, but we believe he might have made more of his advantage by initiating a wing attack with 9...P—QKt4, and if 10 P—QR4, 10 QKt—R4, etc.
3. 13…Bg4 Even now P—QKt4 was stronger.
4. 18.c4 An excellent move which relieves White's position and fully equalizes matters.
5. 30…Rxc2 Black has ingeniously fought for a win against his formidable opponent, and he has succeeded by fine play to gain a Pawn, but the position of his King is against him, and he can do no more than draw.
