Game 79 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 105–106.

1. 5…Bb6 BxB may also safely be adopted here, and by subsequent careful play on Black's part, he can prevent the opponent from dissolving the doubled Pawn in the centre, which ought to become troublesome in the ending.
2. 9.Bxc6 We do not approve of the plan pursued here and in the next two moves for White, as the opponent obtains two Bishops, with a strong centre.
3. 11.Bxf6 It would have been dangerous to try sacrificing tactics like 11 B—R4, 11 P—KKt4; 12 KtxP, 12 PxKt; 13 BxP, for Black could answer now 13...BxP ch., and if 14 K—B sq. (obviously, if 14 KxB, 14 Kt—Kt5 ch., etc., or if 14 K—Q2, 14 KtxKP ch., and wins), 14...K—Kt2, followed by R—KR sq., with a piece ahead and a safe game.
4. 23.b4 Attack and defence have been excellently conducted by the respective players. The move in the text is very fine, as it was important for White to keep the QP well protected in order to close the diagonal for the adverse Bishop. If 23 PxP, 23 BxP; 24 RxP, 24 BxP ch.; 25 K—R sq., 25 B—Kt3; 26 RxR, 26 QxR; 27 R—Q sq., best (if 27 P—KR3, Black's best plan is to exchange Queens by Q—KB3 ch., and then to play R—KB7, winning a Pawn), 27...Q—B7; 28 Q—B4 ch., 28 R—B2, and the advance of Black's KP ought soon to win.
5. 24…c6 Necessary for the defence as well as for the attack, as White threatened P—Kt5, followed by Kt—Kt4.
6. 26…Bc7 Perhaps good enough, as it forces an ugly hole on White's K side, which probably might have been better utilized than it actually was. But it is noteworthy that White offers and Black neglects the capture of the Queen for two Rooks, which, no doubt, under ordinary circumstances would generally be in favor of the two heavy pieces; but in the present position the force of the passed KP, and its being immediately available, was not taken sufficiently into account, and we believe it would have been sound play to give up the two Rooks, e.g., 26...RxP; 27 QxR, 27 RxQ; 28 RxR, 28 P—K6; 29 R—K2 (or 29 KtxP, 29 BxP, with a strong attack), 29...Q—Kt3; 30 R—Kt3 (if 30 R—Q sq.; 30 Q—B4, threatening Q—Kt5, etc.), 30...Q—K5; 31 B (Kt3) x P, 31 BxP; 32 KtxB, 32 QxKt; 33 K—R sq., 33 QxP; 34 R—K3 ch., 34 K—B2, and should win.
7. 28.Rf1 Probably White realized his danger now and would not, therefore, allow the two Rooks to be given up for the Queen.
8. 28…Qd7 Waste of time. He ought to have gone on with the KRP at once, and, we believe, winning was an easy matter. His Queen was much better placed for this plan of attack where she was.
9. 32…R8f7 A good move. It was necessary to protect the Queen as well as the Bishop once more, in order to make his next exchange of Pawns safe. This Rook also threatened to come in strongly at KR2. He would gain nothing now by Q—Q3, as White would answer Q—K sq.
10. 34…Qd6 If 34...BxP; 35 QxQ, 35 RxQ; 36 PxB, 36 RxKt; 37 R—B5, 37 R—Q6; 38 RxP ch., 38 K—R2; 38 R—B sq., 39 R—Q7 ch.; 40 K—R3, 40 RxP; 41 K—Kt4, 41 R—Kt2; 42 RxR ch., 42 KxR; 43 R—B7 ch., and ought to draw.
11. 35…Rxg3+ A far-sighted combination, which secures a draw at least.
12. 39.Rff2 He could not escape the draw by interposing the other Rook, for Black would answer immediately 39...Q—Kt6 ch.; and if 40 R—Kt2, 40 Q—K6 ch., whereupon the same Rook would have to interpose again; for if 41 R (B sq.)—B2, 41 Q—K8 ch., and mates next move; or else if 41 K—R sq., 41 Q—R6 ch., etc.
13. 40.Re2 If 40 Q—K6, 40 Q—Kt6 ch.; 41 K—B sq., 41 Q—Q6 ch.; 42 K—K sq. (or 42 R [QB2]—K2, 42 P—K6, and wins; or if 42 R [KB2]—K2, 42 B—R7 disch.; 43 K—Kt2, 43 Q—Kt6 ch., and wins), 42...Q—K6 ch., and neither Rook dare interpose, for mate would follow accordingly by Q—KKt8 or Q—B8. There was nothing more than a draw for White in this perilous position, and Mr. Mason rightly played for it at once.
