Game No. 66 in Wilhelm Steinitz’s The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress (1891), printed pages 89–90; played 1889.04.10. The original descriptive notation and printed analysis are retained.

1. 5.O-O Not as good as Kt—Kt5, played by Mr. Delmar against the same opponent at this stage.
2. 9.Bg5 As a general rule it is better to post this B — K3 where he is in communication with both wings.
3. 19…h6 Time is wasted here that might have been better used by K—R sq. and P — B3.
4. 20.Rd3 B — Q2 seems better, in order not to block the KB.
5. 34.Qxa4 Both parties have played the middle game with great care and caution, and a draw ought to result by rights after the exchange of Queens, though White has a slight advantage with his two Bishops.
6. 46.Ba7 White is playing with great ingenuity in order to confine Black’s King or drive him back and make room for his own, but by its nature the position ought to have been a drawn one, nevertheless.
7. 49…h4 At last Black unsuspectingly gets himself into difficulties. B — K8 was the right move, which would have kept the game even.
8. 53.Ba7 White presses hard on the opponent. He threatens B — KB2.
9. 54…Kd7 Best, or White wins by B— K7.
10. 55.Bg6 White's manoeuvring is a splendid specimen of end play with two Bishops.
11. 55…Na6 This is fatal. He could still hold out by 55...B—Kt6; 56 B—B5 ch., 56 K—B3; 57 B—K7, 57 Kt—K sq., and if 58 B—KKt6, 58 K—Q2, etc.
12. 59.Bc7 Which leaves no chance of resistance.
