Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-26-07  percyblakeney: With this game Pillsbury won the first brilliancy prize in Vienna 1898.
Dec-24-11  Nerwal: Very nice attack by Pillsbury. He never lost control, put his pieces on the right squares and found one good attacking idea after another.

White on the other hand handled the hanging pawns rather badly (and 17. ♘g5 looks really dubious). Maybe this structure was not well studied at the time. Anyway, white should not allow the black queen to switch to the kingside by Qa5-h5 and instead could change the structure by dynamic play like 16. d5!? exd5 17. ♗xf6 gxf6 17. ♘b3, apparently keeping the balance.

Jan-15-15  zanzibar: This is indeed the game which won Pillsbury the brillancy prize:

Apr-05-15  zanzibar: Actually, I can do even better than the last ref... this game is found in <ACM v2 Jan 1899 No 7 p321> as are the 2nd and 3rd place brilliancy games.
