Mar-22-11		crawfb5: <"White opened the thirteenth game in a manner similar to the eleventh game, viz, with the Queen's Gambit Declined, and allowed Black to form a majority of three pawns to two on the queeen's wing, in order to pursue his own attack against the king. He succeeded in weakening Black's king side pawns, but was unable to obtain any great advantage therefrom. Black obtained a counter attack against the white queen's pawn and succeeded in winning it, and eventually after fifty-three moves White resigned."> H. N. Pillsbury <Brooklyn Daily Eagle> 3/23/1897
