Dec-16-16 | | offramp: Marshall had come third at Paris (1900) where he beat Lasker ( Marshall vs Lasker, 1900 ). So this was a bad result for him. Pillsbury won by a large margin, despite the strong field. |

Dec-16-16 | | TheFocus: Marshall was not Marshall in this tournament. |

 | | KEG: The game Napier-Delmar (Round 4) is said here to be "unavailable." But a score of the game is given in the Tournament Book, said to be from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. I was going to annotate the game, but I question the accuracy of the score. The game--as given--is so bad that it is hard to believe it was contested between the players who ultimately tied for 2nd-3rd. Fearing that I do that providing notes on this score would be nonsense, I have decided to let it rest. |

 | | jnpope: W Napier vs E Delmar, 1901
<KEG>, sorry I didn't notice this sooner. I had to pull out my photocopies of the BDE, taken from microfilm, as the online versions that I could find are mostly illegible. My photocopy is clear and distinct (and it also matches the same game published in the <New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung>. I don't see anything "so bad". Both sides play a number of weak moves, but nothing that screams blunder-fest. I even used the CG Stockfish analysis program to double check and it didn't find anything hideous about the game as printed in either source. |

 | | KEG: <jnpope>Thank you for your research. I haven't looked at the Napier Delmar reported game in over two years. But, in light of your comments, I will get to it in due course and give you my impressions. |
