Game No. 190 in Steinitz's The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 245–245 (PDF pages 297–297); headed "Played in the first round, April 3d."
- 6.Bg5 A new venture that involves the sacrifice of a Pawn for an attack which seemingly presents great difficulties to the opponent for a long time.
- 8…Qe7 If 8...KtxP; 9 Q—K2, 9 P—Q3; 10 PxP, and wins a piece.
- 12.Qb1 Threatening Kt—B6 ch., followed by Q—KKt6 ch., which would win in a few moves.
- 12…Be7 We prefer K — R sq., with the view of retreating Kt — K2.
- 23.Rde1 If 23 QxP, 23 Q—B3, threatening B—QB4.
- 28.Rce1 28 K—R sq. would not save the exchange, as Black could answer R—Q5.
- 30…Rd2 It is now an easy matter for Black to win.
