Game No. 58 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 79–80; played 1889.05.08. The original descriptive notation and printed analysis are retained.

1. 11…Ne6 The game has been normally developed on both sides, and is now quite equal.
2. 13.Rab1 Better than forming a hole by P—QKt3, and also superior to 13 Kt x Kt, 13 BPxKt; 14BxP, 14RxP; 15 B— Q4, 15R—Kt5, etc.
3. 16…Bxc5 With this exchange the game drifts into a draw on account of the Bishops being of opposite colors, though some complications arise later on.
4. 21…Ra8 A difficult move to hit at, and, we believe, the only one to save the game.
5. 22…Be4 Also finely played, and by far superior to B x P at once, for, by compelling the advance of White's KBP, White's Rook will be left unprotected if Bishops are exchanged, and thus Black will gain time.
6. 24.Rbe1 If 24 Q x B, 24 B x B; 25 QR—K sq., 25 Q—K2, followed soon by P—QB4, with the better game.
7. 27…Bxd7 The game is now easily drawn.
