3rd Anglo-American Cable Match (1898) New York, NY, United States/London, England (18-19 March 1898) Brd USA Team GBR Team ————————————————————————————————— 1 Pillsbury ½ Blackburne ½ 2 Showalter 1 Burn 0 3 Barry 1 Caro 0 4 Hymes ½ Atkins ½ 5 Hodges 1 Bellingham 0 6 Delmar 0 Mills 1 7 Baird ½ Locock ½ 8 Young 0 Jackson 1 9 Robinson 0 Jacobs 1 10 Galbreath 0 Trenchard 1 ————————————————————————————————— Scores: 4½ 5½ ————————————————————————————————— Time Control: 20 moves per hour. USA had White on the odd-numbered boards Introduction Once again, British depth told the story. The Americans scored 4-1 on the top five boards, but could only manage 1/2-point on the bottom five. Board 7 was possibly the least interesting game in the entire series, Baird producing nothing from his last 45 moves except a very long scoresheet. Notes The 2nd Anglo-American Cable Match (1897) and 4th Anglo-American Cable Match (1899) were the previous and next editions of this team match-up for the Newnes Cup.

Of course, Pillsbury sacrificed his game in the interest of the match. Had the matter gone to Lasker he could not have decided except in favor of a draw."> NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
