Saint Petersburg 1895-96 chess tournament
Adpete: a rough start
The '''Saint Petersburg 1895-96 chess tournament''' was one of the strongest [[chess]] tournaments of the 19th century.
The top five finishers at the [[Hastings 1895 chess tournament]] were invited: [[Harry Nelson Pillsbury]], [[Mikhail Chigorin]], [[World Chess Champion|World Champion]] [[Emanuel Lasker]], [[Siegbert Tarrasch]] and [[William Steinitz]]. Lasker was [[World Chess Champion]] and Steinitz had been world champion before [[World Chess Championship 1894|losing the championship to Lasker in 1894]].
Tarrasch was unable to accept the inviation, so the other four players played a 6-round round-robin.
Pillsbury took an early lead, before collapsing in form halfway through the tournament, for reasons which have been widely speculated. [[Garry Kasparov]] has suggested that, had Pillsbury won the tournament, he could well have forced a world championship match against Lasker.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2ZtlPeP Kasparov on Pillsbury], [[Chessbase]], 17-Jun-2006</ref>
In the end, Lasker won with Steinitz second, which allowed Steinitz to raise support for an [[World Chess Championship 1897|1897 rematch between Lasker and Steinitz]],<ref>[[Israel Horowitz]], ''From Morphy to Fischer'', Batsford, 1973, page 52</ref> which Lasker won.
