May-30-07  paladin at large: These two are fun - but some bad decisions by Steinitz here. The advance pawn group got no chaperones and it looks grim for white by move 22. Pretty finish by Chigorin.
Feb-28-08  Knight13: <After 7. Kxd1> Wow, nice pawn structure!
Aug-21-10  soothsayer8: What a fierce game. The endgame was reached by move 18! Some games are just getting out of their openings around then. Beautiful finish by Chigorin, Kings got no choice but to allow himself to be pinned to his queen and black's pawn on c6 is easily promoted.

Actually, the king's got no choice but to allow himself to be skewered to his queen. In this case, the queen is lost and there's no need to try to promote the pawn on c6. Also, once chigorin takes the queen, steinitz will probably take the c6 pawn anyway.
