 | | Phony Benoni: <vonKrolock> That second problem is devilishly difficult to visualize. Looks like Pollock was the guy who gave everybody headaches down at the club with his crazy problems. I think it's 1.Nd6, but I'm still not completely sure. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Here is a nice finish from Pollock:
Hvidenstahl-Pollock, London, 1885:

Bird and I. Gunsberg.> I was making a silly joke - pollock is a kind of fish, as my Wikipedia cite indicated. No player who played at Hastings 1895, and did respectably, as Pollock did, could be a weak player. From what I have read of Pollock, he was a charming and beloved person, and capable of playing great chess. |

Pollock-John Desoyres, John Desoyres-Pollock- Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, 1895 (St. John Globe) in "Last of the Nineteenth Century Champions of Saint John", EN PASSANT, NO. 144, JUNE,1997 (by Larry Fyffe).) |

May-09-14 | | ljfyffe: Pollock-C.E. Harding 1895 Saint John : 1e4 e5 2f4 exf4 3Nf3 g5 4h4 g4 5Ng5 d5 6d4 h6 7Nxf7 Kxf7 8Bxg4 Be7 9Nc3 Nf6 10e5 Nh5 11Bd3 Rf812o-o Kg7 13Qd2 Nxf4 14Rxf4 Rxf4 15Qxf4 Bxf4 16Rf1 Be6 17 Nxd5 Bxd5 18Qf5 Qg8 19Qg6+ 1-0. Likely a simul. |

May-09-14 | | PhilFeeley: <ljfyffe> Something's wrong. If 15. Qxf4 Bxf4 then how can 18. Qf5 and 19. Qg6+? |
|
May-10-14 | | ljfyffe: 8Bxf4 Be7 and 15Qxf4 Bxh4....my errors. Thanks for pointing them out , Phil. |

May-11-14 | | ljfyffe: Bear with me. I'm somewhat computer illiterate.Essentially Gutenberg and descriptive notation. Here's another simul: Pollock (from Montreal) vs Prof. W. Hanburg (from Musquash, NB). Played in Saint John, July, 1895: 1e4 e5 2Nf3 Nc6 3Bc4 Bc5 4b4 Bb6 5b5 Na5 6Nxe5 Qf67Bxf7+ Kd8 8d4 d6 9Bxg8 Rxg8 10Bg5 Qxg5 11Nf7+ Ke7 12Nxg5 1-0. Perhaps the good professor was a little tired having walked the 18 miles to the city just to get the chance to play the esteemed WHK Pollock. |

May-11-14 | | PhilFeeley: <ljfyffe> Maybe the Chess Canada website has more of these? See: http://www.chess.ca/pgn-downloads |
|
May-12-14 | | ljfyffe: See another Pollock posted under Zukertort's games of chess. |
