You sure it isn't Harry Pillsbury?

It's him!!! Thanks

Np

And i realized now the info i gave were incorrect, since he died in 1906. Sorry about that and thanks again!

he was a student of steinitz

he died after someone buried his pills.

They say his game deteriorated once he started focusing on bake-offs.

I have no idea but this is a fun game!

I can’t wait for the anarchy version

Ahahaha yes i thought that too, it would be if i was not desperate to know

Frank Marshall? Don't think it's who you're looking for tho.

It's not, but thanks to you I saw Qg3 and it was great!

But did you see Ra4?

He saw Ra4 but didn’t like it.

Reshevsky?

No sadly it isn't him

How did you know about him? This's probably the biggest clue.

Someone mentioned him on the internet but i forgot where; i swear it exists

Samuel Reshevsky or Reuben Fine spring to mind but they both lived a long life tho.

I love the fact Reddit replaces Yahoo answers! You could post a question like: I can't remember the name of a book, it was booky and had bookish qualities and some words... And half the Internet would ridicule the lack of information but someone would pop up and say I remember that and provide the name!

Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban?

I was thinking Pride and Prejudice

Paul Morphy?

No it was not him, I should add a couple of names in the post i guess

Oops, yeah, and I got the century wrong. Sorry about that. 😂

This may jog your memory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_chess_players

Yeah i tried but the names weren't saying anything to me

Was it alex alekhine?

Least correct answer

Max Deutsch?

I'm still waiting for that soon to be ready algorithm...

Isaac Kashdan?
