 | | Honza Cervenka: 19.a5 looks also very strong, but Chigorin's combination is much more beautiful. |

 | | nasmichael: I like this game because it shows the boldness of play in taking account of "advantage of move"; many of the ideas Chigorin uses are possible because of the 'tautness' with which he stretches the board. Although theory would discount some of Steinitz's responses, the game is instructive especially because most people in the world are not playing from a Fortunata's Purse of game theory--they play because it is enjoyable to them. So study theory and reduce mistakes in judgement, of course--but use your own ideas as taken from your own experiences as well. |

|
| Feb-28-08 | | Knight13: Knight on d6 and knight on e5? Must've been Chigorin's dream to have his horses taken care of THIS well! |

| Oct-25-08 | | JimmyVermeer: Steinitz wisely deviates from his usual 6...Qf6. 6...Nf6 was always played successfully by Paul Morphy, so that probably would have been the best move. Steinitz also bombed on his 30th move. He should have tried 30...Kf7. The ending would be 31 Rxf5+ Qxf5 32 Qf8+ Kg5 33 Qxf5+ Kh6 34 Re7 Rxg4+ 35 Qxg4 Bf6 36 Re6 d4 37 Rxf6#. If you follow syracrophy's ending, it would go something like this:
31 Rxf5+ Qxf5 32 Qf8+ Kg5 33 Qxf5+ Kh6 34 Qh5+ Kg7 35 Re7+ Kf6 36 Rd7 Rxg4+ 37 Qxg4 Ke5 38 Qe2+ Kf6 39 Rd6+ Kg5 40 h3 h5 41 Qd2+ Be3 42 Qxe3+ Kf5 43 Re6 d4 44 Qe5# taking White 7 turns longer to win. |

| Sep-03-10 | | soothsayer8: Looks like Steinitz finally came to his senses this match... 6...d6, Nice move there, Wilhelm ;) |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Llawdogg: 19 Nxf7! is a beautiful sacrifice that rips open the position and starts a very successful king hunt. And doing it against Steinitz in a World Championship match must have been very satisfying for Chigorin. Very nice. |
|
| Aug-07-11 | | JoergWalter: Lasker critized 19.Nxf7 as a wrong combination which allows for a better defense. his line starts with 21. ... Qe8 (instead of Qc8) 22. Re1 Kf6 23. g4 h5 24. Bxe7+ Qxe7. In the above computer analysis 22. Qe8 is not considered. 19.a5 secures the win immediately (Lasker) |
|
| Nov-09-11 | | AnalyzeThis: Ah yes, Steinitz getting slapped around in another Evans Gambit, what else is new. |
|
| Jul-04-12 | | e4 resigns: <Looks like Steinitz finally came to his senses this match... 6...d6, Nice move there, Wilhelm ;)> I read somewhere that Steinitz kept on playing ...Qf6 and kept losing, but he was sure it was the right defense. Chigorin was the master of attack! |

| Dec-25-12 | | leka: Chigorin learn to play chess at age 18 years old.It is a miracle how good chess Chigorin could play.Akiba Rubinstein also learn to play at age 18 years old.If Chigorin and Rubinstein have learn to play at age 4 years like Capablanca no one could have stopped Rubinstein and Chigorin.Chigorin made a 10 move mating attack against Alapin.Todays super grand masters elo rating 2725 can not see 6 moves ahead |

 | | Phony Benoni: That's odd. In this , the first game of the match, Steinitz was "Chagrined". In the last game, the tables were turned! Chigorin vs Steinitz, 1892 |

|
| Sep-03-13 | | takchess: <nasmichael> well said |
|
| Sep-03-13 | | TheTamale: Steinitz after move 19: "Oh no you did-int..." |
|
| Sep-03-13 | | GrandMaesterPycelle: It would be much better not to use the same pun for two games between the same players in the same match. It's rather confusing, and lazy. |
|
| Sep-03-13 | | kevin86: Getting Chiggy with it... |
|
| Sep-03-13 | | builttospill: In Lasker's line:
21. ... Qe8 (instead of Qc8) 22. Re1 Kf6 23. g4 h5 24. Bxe7+ Qxe7. Critter gives white +3.5 after 16ply. I like the Knight sacrifice because it's in the spirit of the romantic era. The top line given by Critter is actually 21. ...Qc7, with 22. Re1 Kf6 23. Bxe7+ Kxe7 24. Qf3 Rf8 followed by a5! White is up around +1. Little did these guys know 120 years later we'd be looking at their game with computers. |
