Harry Nelson Pillsbury (Alexander Cherniaev) torrent

Harry Nelson Pillsbury shot to fame at the age of 22 when he won outright the incredibly strong Hastings 1895 tournament ahead of such luminaries as Steinitz, Chigorin and Lasker. Had it not been for his untimely death at the age of 33 he may well have gone on to challenge for the World Championship. In the only book on Pillsbury currently in print Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev presents 50 of his best games and shows why he ranks alongside Morphy and Fischer as one of the greatest ever American players.
