 | | Phony Benoni: <"Concerning Steinitz's new move in the French Defense, introduced by him in a game recently played in Dublin, Dr. Zukertort is reported as having said that, in the first place, the move is old; in the second, the move is not sound; in the third, he invented it himself."> <Baltimore American>, March 13, 1881, quoting from <Turf, Field, and Farm>. The innovation is <7.b3>, and Zukertort was at least one-third right: it was played nearly twenty years earlier in Paulsen vs Kolisch, 1861. |

Nov-16-13 | | Karpova: According to Krejcik (his source is "Brentano's Chess Monthly" 1881) on page 169 of the June 1924 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung', this was a consultation game with Steinitz facing <Cairns>, <Monk> and <Wallace>. |

Dec-13-20 | | TheFocus: We were first updated on the participants in this game being Cairns, Monk and Wallace in 2013 by <Karpova>. CeeGee should be getting around to that correction any day now. In "<Steinitz's Selected Games> by Charles Devide, the same three are given on page 46. Just any day now. |

Dec-14-20 | | TheFocus: <Stonehenge: It took one day :)> LOL! Big thank you. |
|
Dec-14-20 | | Z4all: Yeah, but somebody should make a comment on why Monck is preferred over Monk. |

 | | MissScarlett: Except that link says <Soffe> not <Monck> took part. Monck was on another board. The relevant section of Harding's book on Steinitz is a revised and expanded version of the Chessmail article (apparently dated 2017). |

 | | MissScarlett: I've also added <28...Rh5 29. d5> to the score, following the <CPC>, 1881, p.28, albeit it gives Monck. Harding, <Steinitz in London>, p.275: <Several sources name Monck as a third player but the Dublin Chess Club match books confirm what <The Field> and <The Irish Times> said: the third player was Soffe, not Monck. <Devide> page 46, stated the year wrong and did not say Steinitz played blindfold.> |
