Anderssen–Steinitz, from their 1866 London match — Emanuel Lasker held up Steinitz's win as a model of the new method: a king-side pawn-storm prepared with painstaking care after White's premature exchange on the fifth move. From Common Sense in Chess (1896); his public-domain notes follow.
5.Bxc6+This exchange is decidedly uncalled for. Black's Q R gains thereby an open file, as well as the Q B. White has no compensation whatever; for to speak in the early stage of a game of the weakness of a double Pawn or an isolated Pawn for end game purposes is nothing but a chimera.
6…g6Black has already the advantage, and can therefore afford to lose a move for development, which will later on support his plan of attack.
10…c5An excellent coup. Black's plan, as will be seen, is to make the fighting on the K side with his Pawns; he therefore keeps the White Q P back, to preserve the obstructions in the centre.
11.Rb1It would have been much more to the interest of White to forestall the imminent attack, for instance by (11) Q - Q 2, K - R 2; (12) P - K Kt 4, Kt - Kt; (13) Kt - R 2, P - B 4; (14) P - B 3.
15…f5The White K Pawn, which intercepts the B file from Q B 3, blocks the K P and holds back the Q P, dare not be removed. It is, therefore, an excellent object of attack.
19.Qd5White's game suffers of want of design. There is no possible object in all this manoeuvring of the heavy pieces. His policy should have been one of defence, which he might conduct on the Kt - R 2, P - K B 3 and so on, and perhaps successfully.
20…Ra7In order to have his Queen free for the following threat: (21) ..., P - B 5; (22) B - Q 2, B x P; (23) P x B, Q x P; (24) Kt - R 2, P - B 6, etc.
25…Nh7The R P shall advance and then the Kt P, to be followed by Kt - Kt 4, where the Kt will have, in conjunction with his advanced Pawns, a commanding sway. Mark how carefully all this is prepared. No strong point is left to the White party in the rear of the Black Pawns, nor in front of them, during the whole of the tedious process.
31…Qh7Here we have the beau ideal of the concluding stages of a King side attack supported by a chain of Pawns. If P x P, all the lines are opened by P - B 6 with tremendous effect. White cannot much improve his position, as his pieces have no space to execute any movements. So Black has any amount of time to prepare the finishing stroke.
35.dxc5Of course, if (35) B x Kt, B - R 6 ch. wins.
36.Ke1or (36) K x Kt, B - K B 3, the White King being quite helpless.
37…Qxf3And Black won easily a few moves later. Do not overlook how the apparently unimportant sixth move on the part of White (6. P - K R 3) was the real reason of all the trouble that he had to undergo.
