Game 193 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed page 248. Played in the second round at New York on May 11, 1889. The original notes retain descriptive notation.

1. 5…a6 5...B — K2 is in authorized order. The slight alteration in the sequence of moves gives White an opportunity for a novel and rather strong attack.
2. 7…Bf5 If 7...Kt—Q3; 8 P x P, 8 Kt—B4; 9 R—Q sq., 9 B—Q2; 10 P—K6, 10 P x P; 11 Kt—K5, with a winning game. But 7...Kt—KB3 seems rather better than the move in the text.
3. 14…Kh7 A slight error that causes him great trouble afterward. K — R sq. was the proper play.
4. 16.Qd3+ In consequence of the place chosen by Black for his King on the 14th move White now gains important time for his development with this check.
5. 19…Bf5 Perhaps B — B3 first would have been wiser policy in the main, for he had the advantage for the ending, owing to his two Bishops, and he had no need to face dangerous complications.
6. 20…Qd8 White threatened Kt x QBP, and Black's KB required protection.
7. 21.Bxh6 A high-spirited sacrifice, considering the strength of his opponent, and, moreover, it is one that was not likely to be beaten in actual play, for it cannot easily be demonstrated unsound even in analysis.
8. 22…Bh7 If 22...K—Kt sq.; 23 R—K3, 23 B—R5; 24 R—R3, 24 B x QBP (if 24...Q—Kt4; 25 R—KKt3, and wins); 25 R—Q2, followed by R—KR3, and wins.
9. 26…f6 Black has hit on the right play up to this, where, however, he fails to grasp the situation by 26...K—Kt sq.; 27 R—KKt3 (or 27 R—KKt4, 27 P—B3; 28 P—KB4, 28 B—KB4, and should win), 27...P—KB3; 28 R—K sq., 28 QR—K sq.; 29 P—KB4, 29 B—KKt3, with a winning game.
10. 31.Nf5 Having recovered time, which he was probably short of on the 30th move, Mr. Showalter seizes the right plan with great ingenuity.
11. 31…Qf7 If 31...Q—Q2; 32 Kt—K7, and wins.
12. 33.Qxh7+ Much better game than R x Q.
