Steinitz was definitely past his best in 1895, but as he himself said, "I may be an old lion, but I can still bite someone's hand off if he puts it in my mouth." After four moves from the diagram Bardeleben left the room and permitted his time to expire, whereupon Steinitz demonstrated to the onlookers a brilliant 10-move mating combination!
