O-O 6.Be2 {In a very similar position recently (Steinitz
v. Lasker, St. Petersburg, January 9, 1896) the first player
proceeds with c5, which is doubtless generally regarded with
distrust. It is curious that White seems to have no better
move than the text, which appears to amount to nothing if the
Bishop has to take the Pawn subsequently. Ne5 has points,
supported later by f4, and that may eventually turn out to be
the strongest continuation.} dxc4 7.O-O c5 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.Bxc4
a6 10.Qe2 b5 11.Bb3 Bb7 12.Bd2 {Rd1 suggests itself at once as
a more vigorous line of play. e4 would be good now, but for
the reply b4.} Nbd7 13.Rfd1 Qe7 14.Be1 b4 15.Na4 {The question
naturally occurs, what is the future of this Piece? Nb1 was
probably superior, notwithstanding appearances to the
contrary. Afterwards Nbd2, and then to c4, or f1, as
circumstances suggest.} Bd6 16.Qd3 {By first playing Bc2, a
good deal might be threatened later, and the disagreeable
counter-attack by Black would have been at least deferred.}
Bb8 17.Rac1 Bxf3 {The exchange, not generally favourable in
such positions, is here evidently in Black's favour. He makes
a doubled Pawn at once, and has many good prospects of a
King's side attack.} 18.gxf3 Ne5 19.Qe2 g5 20.Rd4 a5 21.f4
gxf4 22.Rxf4 Kh8 23.f3 {White has already drifted into a most
unsatisfactory position, and this is one of the best of a
number of poor defences. It will be noted that White's Rook is
in a line with Black's King's Bishop, and that some means must
be found to prevent a fatal attack by Black’s Qh4,
etc. later.} Nh5 24.Rd4 Ba7 25.Bh4 Qb7 26.Re4 f5 {A very
charming resource, the point of which is not at first sight

in our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th notes. We are informed, and the game
bears out the statement, that White was short of time at one
or two points. In such a difficult game it is no wonder White
went astray under those circumstances. In the latter part of
this game we can suggest no variation satisfactory to him. On
the other hand, Herr Bardeleben, if by no means enterprising,
conducts his attack with deadly accuracy and force.} Qc1+

simplest plan seems to be to double the Rooks on the King's

Knights being very limited and a defence of the weak Queen's
pawn in the long run impossible. (Mr. Mason drew his

the doctor had written his name at move one, and was sure he

1.d4 {Notes by E. Schiffers} f5 {Many of those who took part
in the Hastings Tournament were completely opposed to this
move. Tarrasch attributed his possible defeat by Steinitz
chiefly to the weakness of this opening. Tchigorin did not
altogether agree with this view, but nevertheless admitted
that the move f5 was feeble. Morphy chose this opening in
three of the games in his match with Harrwitz and played it
with success. Everything depends upon the line of play Black
adopts eventually. Besides Morphy's games and the actual one,
compare the game Janowski-Albin, in which the latter conducted
this opening with remarkable correctness.} 2.e3 e6 3.c4 Nf6

anyone would censure a similar line of development for White
in the opening 1 f4 d5, etc., with the Bishops advanced to b2

for attack. Black, therefore, should not have waited quietly
till it suited White to take off the pawns, but should have
forestalled that intention. Moreover, why does Black play
...c5 at all. If, therefore, as has been done in this game,
White does not stop the further advance of the pawn, by b3 and
Bb2, then the spirit of the opening requires ...c4 to be
played, which would place both White bishops in a wretchedly
confined position. White's b3 need not be feared in the least,
as the pawn could be taken off, and we consider that in that
case Black's isolated queen's pawn would not be weak. In the
great majority of cases ...Nd7 is a much stronger move than
...Nc6. It leaves the c-file open for the action of the rook,
and it offers good defensive resources in case of a king's
side attack, when Black could play Re8 and Nf8 in defence of
the h-pawn.} 11.Qa4 a6 {We still consider c4 a stronger move.}

1.e4 {Notes by S. Tinsley} e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 {Is it
necessary --probably it is-- to explain, for the benefit of
the uninitiated, that Black must not play Nxe4 at once? The
reply would be Qe2 with a very agreeable attack, if not a
winning game.} 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 {Sanctioned by many
authorities recently. But we have heard much about never
moving a Piece twice in the opening. It is necessary, however,
to play d5 to prevent White’s Nd5, to support the Kt at e4,
and to play Bd6.} 6.Bd3 Be7 {Bd6 has much in its favour.}

Be6 13.Ne5 O-O 14.Nxd5 {The special point, if any, involved in
a mere exchange of a minor Piece in such a position is
difficult to discover. And there is this forcible objection to
it, that the game soon tends to dulness and becomes
unattractive to what is best described as the gallery.} Bxd5
15.Bc2 Re8 16.Qd3 g6 17.Qh3 Nh5 18.Be3 {The Bishop is retained
in order to keep the Knight out. By exchanging, a 'hole' would
be open for that Piece at f4.} Bg5 19.Qg4 Bxe3 20.fxe3
{White’s somewhat weak Queen’s Pawn is now supported and the
game seems quite even.} Be6 21.Qe2 Qg5 22.Rf1 Rad8 23.Bb3
{Unless White saw the whole combination at starting this is
surprising at first sight. The White Bishop is valuable and is
in excellent play, and a doubled Pawn is the result of the
text move. Moreover, his weak King’s Pawn needed support, and
the immediate effect of White’s combination is unfavourableto
him. Or, possibly, White overlooked that after e4, Black could
check at e3 and capture that Pawn safely. The position is
highly interesting at his point, which forms the crux of the
game.} Bxb3 24.axb3 f6 25.Qc4+ Rd5 { It is necessary to
interpose the Rook. Otherwise, 25...Kg7 26 Qf7+ Kh8 27 Qxe8+
Rxe8 29 Nf7+ regaining tile Queen and presumably winning
easily.} 26.e4 Qe3+ 27.Kh1 Qxe4 28.Rae1 Qxd4 29.Nxc6 Rxe1 {One
of the most exciting positions in the Tournament is now
presented, Black’s weakness of course being the unprotected
Rook at e8. Practically all this is forced. If Black play
instead Qxc4, then 30 Rxe8+ Kf7 31 bxc4 and wins.} 30.Nxd4

winning one is a moot point, anyhow the check is not
opportune. The impression produced by the latter part of the
game is that White a little underestimated his opponent's
splendid defensive powers with the material at his
disposal. In one word, White probably expected an easy win.}

that when White has played Bf4 some of the objections against

on Black’s chance of playing e5 which, of course, is only
possible in connection with c6.} 7.dxc5 Bxc5 {dxc4 for Black

never exchanges any Pawns ; we cannot see how Black can do
anything. Clearly he gains nothing by playing the King over to
the other side, as the White King is also free, and will
always be able to keep the opposition or to block the
Pawns. An interesting question arises whether Black, wiihout
the mistake on the 30th move, could have won this
ending. After a very careful analysis of the position I have
come to the conclusion that, in spite of being a Pawn to the
good and having the King well in play, Black cannot force a
win against the best defence, as the two doubled Pawns can
never he dissolved. The following variation shows the
resources of the attack and the defence; e.g. - 30...Kb5 31 b3

grounds, the King’s Knight should be played in preference to

1. e4 {Notes by L. Gunsberg} e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 {If a
census were taken of the games played with the d6 defence as
against any other defence to the Ruy Lopez, it would be found
that this move has up to the present produced the worst
proportionate results.} 4. Ba4 d6 5. O-O Ne7 6. c3 Bd7 7. d4
Ng6 8. Re1 Be7 9. Nbd2 O-O 10. Nf1 Qe8 {Somehow or other we do
not believe in the manouvre of bringing the White Queen’s
Knight over on to the King’s side; we think too much time is
lost thereby, and it is advisable for Black to adopt an
aggressive policy before White has time to fully develop his
Pieces. Suppose Black played exd4 instead of Qe8, and if 11
cxd4 , then b5 12 Bc2 Nb4 13 Bb3 c5 14 d5 c4 15 Bc2 Nxc2 16
Qxc2 f5. The point is to do something while the Knight is on
f1, and before it can get g3.} 11. Bc2 Kh8 12. Ng3 Bg4 {We do
not see what good can come from this move; anyway it would
have been stronger if exd4 had preceded it.} 13. d5 Nb8 14. h3
Bc8 {The fact that the Bishop ought not to have gone to g4 at
all must now be clear.Bxf3 would not have been an improvement,
as that would bring White’s Queen into play.} 15. Nf5 Bd8
16. g4 Ne7 17. Ng3 Ng8 {Black has now completed his strategic
movement towards the rear. If this is good strategy, then the
modern theory of development must be all wrong. One fact,
however, must be borne in mind. Black, having all his Pieces
concentrated on his base, is certainly less assailable, and
should White rashly advance against that formation, Black
might probably be able to break up the White line with
advantage to himself.} 18. Kg2 {Considering that Black’s only
hope lies in an advance of the King’s Bishop’s Pawn, we should
have preferred to play Kh2, so as to be able to occupy the
King’s Knight’s file with the Rook, which would effectually
prevent f5 at any future time. And, after developing his
Rooks, White could take his own time about cautiously turning
on the pressure.} Nd7 19. Be3 Nb6 20. b3 Bd7 21. c4 Nc8 {There
seems little prospect of Black being able to harass White by a
flank attack on the Queen’s side. Yet it is the only way at
present that promises some relief.} 22. Qd2 Nce7 23. c5 g6
24. Qc3 f5 {It was pointed out by Mr. Steinitz that he would
have done much better if he had played h6 first. In this we
perfectly agree with him, as it would have given the King some
elbow room, and would, therefore, have made the impending
sacrifice less profitable, which by-theby must have stared
Black in the face in rather an obvious manner.} 25. Nxe5 dxe5
26. Qxe5+ Nf6 27. Bd4 {White’s play is extremely
interesting. If he had simply contented himself with 27 g5,
Black might have replied in several ways: i.e. Nxd5 28 Bd4 Nb4
29 Bb1 Kg8 30 gxf6 Bxf6 31 Qxd8 Raxd8, etc. Though these moves
may be varied, we still think this line would have been
profitable for Black.} fxg4 {Kg8 would not have released the
Knight, as White would, nevertheless, have played g5, and the
Knight could not move. f4 also looks an enticing move, but
then White would have replied with 28. g5, and Black could not
take the Knight.} 28. hxg4 Bxg4 { This was a deceptive
move. It seemed no doubt advantageous to get rid of this
Knight’s Pawn, but it did not result favourably.} 29. Qg5 Qd7
30. Bxf6+ Kg8 31. Bd1 Bh3+ 32. Kg1 Nxd5 {Black played the
following moves with desperate ingenuity. The move of Rxf6
does not promise much, nor is h6 any better, except that it
would allow Black to play Kh7 on the following move, which
would give him more liberty of action.} 33. Bxd8 Nf4 34. Bf6
Qd2 35. Re2 {Though this is the only move on the board, yet it
answers all practical purposes of defence.} Nxe2+ 36. Bxe2 Qd7
37. Rd1 Qf7 {Black having failed in his counter-attack, there
is Iitth left for him to do. If he had played Qe8 or Qc6 it
would not have made much difference in the position.} 38. Bc4
Be6 39. e5 Bxc4 40. Nf5 {A neat finish to a brilliantly played
game.} 1-0

well-informed chess editor of the 'Times Democrat' (New
Orleans) says of this opening that "if not actually the
invention of Mr. A. P. Barnes, of New York, it was at least
first brought into prominent notice by him in the Canadian
"Spectator", July 1880, and subsequently in an analytical
article of some length and importance in "Brentano's Monthly',
vol. i. 1881, p. 73. It is somewhat singular that the
"Handbuch" wholly overlooks this fact in its last edition, as
well we believe as the actual merits of the defence, which, by
the way, is highly esteemed and was almost persistently
adopted by Pillsbury at the Hastings Meeting".} 4. d4 exd4

White, who might possibly have taken the Piece earlier without
much harm. Black is also now ready to assail the weak central

lesser evil; Nxe4 clearly loses his b-pawn.} Ng4 13. Qd2 Qd6

time by a threat of immediate mate, which can only be defended

for Black has always been that at some point White by
advancing d5 could block the adverse bishop out, or else in
some way take advantage of the e6 square. This point seems to
have now arrived, and the advance of the Pawn would seem
difficult to answer satisfactorily. If, for instance, Black
answers exd5 14 cxd5 Ne7 15 Bc4 with the better game (White
could not attempt to win two Pieces for a Rook, however, by
15. Qxc7 Bxd5 16 Rxd5, etc., on account of ...Rfc8 17 Qb7 Rab8
and Black would win). If Black plays 13...Nd8 then 14 Nd4 and
if ...exd5 (...e5 (?) 15 Nxf5 Qxf5 16 Bd3 and should win), 15

play c5 to prevent the loss of two Knights against one Rook ;
and even then White has more chances for a win. For instance,
if 14 Nh4 c5 15 Nxf5 (!), White would get four Pawns on the
Queen’s side and keep two Bishops. Only one defence is
possible, and that consists as reply to Nh4, ...g6, and even

Nb6 25.Qd3 Qg8 26.Na5 {Now we get a first glimpse of all this
subtle manceuvring. White under the guise of attacking the
isolated d-Pawn has placed his Pieces favourably for a King's
side attack. The move is peculiarly characteristic of
Mr. Steinitz's play. He does not depend on success in one
direction, but his attacks are formed with a view to their
bearing on all sides of the board. If Black replies to this
excellent move, which engages the Queen's side with Nxa5, then
Bxa5, threatening to follow tip with Bxb6 once more, would be
bad for Black. The only other move left to defend the White
b-Pawn would be Rd7, but this move would create weaknesses of
a different kind by blocking Black's Pieces.} d4 {This,
perhaps, was the least expected of Black's replies. A move of
this kind, however, under difficulties and pressure of time
limit, as this assuredly must have been, is often very useful;
it serves the purpose of defence better than the more cautious
move, such as Rd7 would have been. Very often it is well worth
while taking such risks. The position is extremely
interesting, and capable of treatment in many different ways.}

dangerous complication. 27 Nxd4 would have avoided the
necessity of giving up a Piece.} bxc6 28.Nxd4 c5 29.Qa6 {His

outcome of the fine position which he had previous to his 27th
move.} cxd4 30.Bxd4 Rxc1 31.Rxc1 Rc8 32.Rc3 { It seems that

the development of the black Pieces.} Bg7 5.O-O Nge7 6.a3

that, while it is being universally practised, the doctors are
disagreeing about it. Who shall then decide?} 5. d4 exd4
6. Nxd4 Bd7 7. Nc3 Be7 8. Nde2 {It is White's intention to go
for a King's side attack by b3 and Bb2 presently. Otherwise,
Be3 now or f4, or even h3, seems to offer better
alternatives. Or he might safely play Nxc6at once, which, as
the sequel shows, would have been much better.} O-O 9. Ng3 Ne5
10. Bxd7 {A leading principle of the Ruy Lopez and other close
openings is that the Black forces must be kept closely
confined as long as possible. Hence the exchange here is not
good. More reasonable is Be2, followed soon by f4.} Qxd7
11. b3 {Apparently f4 is not played, because that would leave
the King's Pawn somewhat isolated and subject to attack
later. This method of developing the Bishop has often led to
interesting games. Mr. Locock, we believe, has frequently
played it with effect.} Rad8 12. Nf5 {The excellence of such a
position is well known. But White's Knight, being unsupported
by other Pieces, is not well placed at so early a stage. There
are possibilities of Black retaliating with Nxe4 presently.}

entire advisability of this, opinions differ. The early
exchange or subsequent retreat is thought not to be generally

undertaking. 8...exd5, with a 'majority on the Queen's side'

apprehended from the adverse Bishop at d3 in this class of
position.} 9.Bxe7 Qxe7 10.Nxd5 Bxd5 11.Bd3 Rc8 {The check

best. After this unfortunate oversight, Black's is really a
hopeless case. Nevertheless the ending is very instructive.}

chiefly after Steinitz's favourite attack. Here, however 7

{As often shown in my annotations in similar positions, it is
absolutely injurious to White's game to allow three
well-supportable Pawns against two to be established on the
Queen's side. The prospect of a King's side attack on which
White speculates is quite unreliable in comparison to the
disadvantage on the Queen's side to which he is subjected. At
any rate, Pawns ought to be exchanged first, and thus Black’s
centre weakened.} Ne4 {It was better to make sure of his
superiority on the Queen's side by c4 at once.} 12. Bf4 Nxc3
13. Rxc3 c4 14. Ne5 f5 {He had sufficient force on the King's
side to ignore any hostile attack in that direction, and
systematic operations on the other wing, commencing with b5,
were most in order.} 15. Kh1 Nxe5 16. Bxe5 Bd6 17. f4 Bc8 {The
combination of this with the next five moves, more especially
with the two closely following, is full of high ingenuity,
which, however, is wasted on an imaginary danger. For all
purposes of defence it was only necessary to advance g6 at the
right time, and then to play Rf7, followed by Bf8
eventually. The Queen's wing was still the proper point of
attack to which he should have directed his attention more
promptly.} 18. Qh5 a6 19. Rf3 Ra7 20. Rh3 g6 21. Qh6 Bxe5

timid reply were only to be accounted for as results of time
