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.
