Game No. 313 in William Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 383. The printed score omits the marker for note (d); its reference to the ruinous Pawn advance identifies 18...P—Kt3.

1. 8…Kh8 In this opening Black gets a cramped game on the Q side which he ought to have tried to relieve at once by P—QKt3 or P—QB4.
2. 10…Nb4 He only assists the adversary’s development on that wing by this sortie.
3. 15…Qd8 Black wastes time which he can ill afford to spare in this position. He ought to have played long ago B—Q2, and in some contingencies this Bishop could have retreated to K sq. with good defensive effect.
4. 18…g6 His game was bad, but there was no immediate necessity for this ruinous advance.
5. 20.Qf3 Prompt and vigorous. He threatens Kt—K4.
6. 22.Bxg6 A fine settler.
