The New York Clipper stated that Boultbee's game was the shortest one lost by Zukertort on his American tour, but Fritz quickly points out that 17.Qd4 prevents the threatened 17...Rh6+ followed by 18...g6#. Another of the participants, Isaac Ryall, noted that "the Doctor ... resigned to board no. 10 when he had a very palpable draw, or even, with a man of his ability, a chance for a win." [Globe, 30 January 1884].
