White accidently knocked the b3 Knight to floor, picked it up and placed it on b1.

Two moves later the knight went to d2 and the game is back on track.

Black can play 28...Nf3+ 29.gxf3 Bxc3 and White cannot play 30.Qxc3.

Because of 30...Ne2+

With the fallen Knight replaced on b1 this idea is not on because the b1 Knight also holds c3.

Two years later in 1926 it was Steiner's turn to knock a piece off the board and replace it on a board with more drastic result.
