Game No. 278 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 345–346.

1. 9…Qxd4 A new idea, and, as far as can be judged from the present game, a very good one, for it clearly and quickly equalizes forces and position, which, we believe, is not the case in most forms of this opening.
2. 12.Bd3 Black likewise regains the Pawn after 12 B—Kt3, 12 K—K2; 13 B—Kt7!, 13 B—Q2; 14 B—R6!, 14 B x P, etc.
3. 19…Bxb1 B—Q5 at once was decidedly better.
4. 28.h4 White is not satisfied with a draw, and the result does not justify his conclusion.
5. 31…c6 An excellent move which transfers the attack to Black.
6. 36.Rf3 If 36 R—Kt5 ch.?, 36 K—R3, followed by P—B3, and wins.
7. 37…Rb3 We would have preferred 37...R—QR8; 38 B—B4, 38 Kt—K3; 39 K—R3 (or 39 B x Kt; 39 P x B, followed by P—R5, then R—QKt8 and R—QKt6, winning), 39...Kt—Q sq., followed by P—KB3 and Kt—QKt2.
8. 46.h5 B—R4 at once, followed immediately by K—Q3, would have drawn without difficulty.
9. 50.Bd7 The true cause of his disaster, whereas 50 K—Q5, 50 K x P; 51 K—K6, 51 B—B sq.; 52 K x P, would have drawn with ease.
10. 51…Kf4 The manner in which Black now wins, though Bishops are of opposite colors and his own Bishop is blocked, makes this ending one of the finest of that description.
