Some games from Tim Harding's Eminent Victorian Chess Players

I wanted to post a few games from Tim Harding's Eminent Victorian Chess Players when I posted my review but didn't have a chance til now.


Gunsberg was awarded the prize for best game of the sixth American Chess Congress for this first round win over Mason.

Here is a fine win for Bird from a unfinished match with Steinitz.



I didn't know Zukertort's games very well or much of his biography outside his match with Steinitz, so I am glad to be able to replay some of his games.

I remember replaying this game many times from my long lost copy of Blackburne's Chess Games, I still hope against hope for a Blackburne biography much less a complete games collection.
