Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-28-14  Knight13: I'd risk 13... c6. I really don't like the potential pressure on f7, and I'm not Steinitz. But before that all of that, I prefer 11... c6 instead of 11... Nf4.
Apr-13-16  zanzibar: After White's 36th move Steinitz proposed the draw, and Zukertort, despite being slightly better, accepted.

According to Lehner.

Feb-26-19  Straclonoor: Surprisely that Steinitz, who was not only strategist, but tactician as well, missed 34....h5! with creating mating net around white king.

Oct-06-19  SymphonicKnight: Fascinating hand to hand battle.
Oct-06-19  Carrots and Pizza: White seemed to fight back and even it up after coming out of the opening a somewhat awkward position. This was a great match.
