Game No. 34, printed pages 44, in Wilhelm Steinitz, The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891). The printed playing date is April 26th.

1. 2…c5 First played by the editor against Mr. Mason in the London Tournament of 1883.
2. 3.Bxb8 The above-named game proceeded 3 P x P, 3 QKt—B3; 4 KKt—B3, 4 P—B3, with an excellent game.
3. 7.exd5 In our notes in the Book of the London International Tournament of 1883, where this variation is pointed out, we give the continuation: 7 B—Kt5 ch., 7 K—B sq.; 8 P x P, 8 Q—Kt3, with a good game.
4. 9…Nxd5 Overlooking that White's ingenious answer subjects him to a strong attack; and, moreover, that in reply to 9...B—Kt5, White had no better answer than 10 P—Q6 ch., whereupon Black would obtain an excellent game by 10...B x P.
5. 10…Nxc3 An extraordinary blunder. He could still obtain a fair game by 10...B—Kt5; 11 Kt x Kt ch. (or 11 Q—Kt5 ch., 11 K—B sq., etc.), 11...P x Kt; 12 P—B3, 12 Q x B; 13 P x B, 13 R—K sq., etc.
6. 11…f6 Losing the Queen in two more moves, but it was all over anyhow. If 11...K—Q3; 12 Q—K5 ch., followed by Q x B, wins equally, or if 11...K—B sq.; 12 Q x B ch., 12 K—Kt sq.; 13 Q x Kt, 13 Q x B; 14 Q—B7, and wins.
7. 12…Kf7 If K—Q sq., he is mated in two moves, commencing with Q—Q6 ch.
