Harry Nelson Pillsbury (December 5, 1872 – June 17, 1906), was a leading chess player. At age 22, he won one of the strongest tournaments of the time (Hastings 1895 chess tournament), but his early death prevented him from challenging for the World Chess Championship.
He is considered the 3rd strongest chess player that America produced: after Paul Morphy and Bobby Fischer.
