Gosh, you are younger than your voice!! Pillsbury had money problems too. His business partnership with Steinitz went kaput

[@Conosur04]

Pillsbury is one of my favorite players, even though he is not a world champion. In my opinion, he had Morphy's spirit of play, but with his own style. Pillsbury played in a few decades later, when chess was different from Morphy's time. And Harry was consistent in adapting to that time in which he played, with players like Steinitz or Lasker. With more positional players and consequently Pillsbury preferred to start with d4 which results in more positional games than playing e4; e4 which was preferred by Morphy. Pillsbury played positional openings, but after the middlegame, he turned to sacrifices and excellent combinations.

Thanks for including yourself. I thought you'd be much older because of the voice 😅

[@historicalchessvideos8017]

Thats surprisingly what everyone says, I don't fully understand why. I think maybe I look younger on the camera, upclose I look old, I think, at least older.

Is it just me or does he sound very different now from older videos? Or is it a different person?

[@chantlerdominic1321]
