Harry Nelson Pillsbury's brilliancy vs Emanuel Lasker

Harry Nelson Pillsbury's brilliancy vs Emanuel Lasker | 1896

In 1896 Harry Nelson Pillsbury played one of the great games of chess against the current World Chess Champion Emanuel Lasker at the Nuremberg Tournament. This game would, by tournament's end, earn Pillsbury the brilliancy prize. Against Lasker's French Defense, Pillsbury opts for a line that at first grabs a space advantage on the kingside, and soon thereafter a space advantage on the queenside. The latter however would not be without its drawbacks as Lasker is keen to highlight. Despite Lasker's steps to ensure there would be no successful breakthrough on the kingside, Pillsbury shows otherwise by unleashing one of the most memorable middlegame combinations, one that would draw our attention to the whole chessboard.

Pillsbury was an incredible player. So bad that his career was so short. Other top American players from the past, Morphy, Fischer also played - for different reasons - so short. They could contribute much more to the chess history...

A question from an amateur: On move 22 why doesn't black move his bishop to c5 and pick up the pawn on b6?

@ChessNetwork 6 жыл бұрын

By playing Nxc5 maybe he wanted to capture the bishop if it moved to d3, or provoke that b4 move to create some queenside weaknesses to work with.

On g4 I shared “This would be a highly committal move.” I’m going through a possible line. I could have been clearer.

@justintharp5652 Жыл бұрын

@@ChessNetwork Right because sometimes it gets a bit confusing when you're breaking it down and adding in other potential good moves that very well could have changed the game had they been played. Although I certainly understand the reasoning behind it. It might be a little more complicated to do. But maybe try doing a game where you're laying out the players moves with minimal added on moves. Then at the end you go back to a few key moments where the game could of gone in other directions.. When I go back & analyze my games. A lot of times I'll be incredulous as to how I could of missed such an in my face move!?... And the answer always hovering around- because you're under pressure.. People tend not to talk about that aspect of Chess as much. But it's a real factor for sure.. Some my most successful games have been when I'm relaxed. So that's why some of their moves are so incredible here. Simply because they were able to make them under intense pressure!! Make people understand why this players from yester-year, & their moves are so Amazing!!
