Pillsbury Is Dead — Famous Chess Player Dies After Long Illness in Philadelphia. — Philadelphia, June 18. — Harry Nelson Pillsbury, the chess master, died here of apoplexy, after an illness of many months. Pillsbury was born December 5, 1872, at Somerville, Mass., where the body will be taken. Pillsbury learned the rudiments of chess when he was 16 years old, at the Deschapelles Chess club, in Boston. His first notable victory was a score of 5 to 4 in a match with John F. Barry, of Boston in 1891. In 1893 he won the New York city tournament with a total score of 7 out of a possible 9, and in 1895 won first prize at the Hastings tournament against many of the strongest players of the world. He was one of the four most famous players named to compete at St. Petersburg — Lasker, Steinitz, Tchigorin and Pillsbury. His score with the world champion, Lasker, was 3½ to 2½. In 1897 Pillsbury won from Showalter, the American chess championship, which he confirmed by a second match with Showalter in 1898. In all, Pillsbury played in 14 international chess tournaments, and was a prize winner in all except at Cambridge Springs, Pa., in 1904, when he was ill. Read More
