"It was not until the sixth American Chess Congress that the game really became popular. M. Tchigorin, having carefully worked up the main variations, played the opening in that tournament with marked success. After that the game was widely played, until W. Steinitz, in his Modern Chess Instructor, published an analysis, of which we give the main variation in a note to the following game, claiming that he had demolished the strength of the attack. After that the opening was again almost entirely abandoned. We fail, however, to see any good reason for thus discarding the opening, and believe that any first class chess player who will carefully study up the main lines of play can use it with success in any modern tournament. The following game illustrates one of the variations. It was played comparatively recently by Tchigorin during a visit to the Moscow Chess Club."
