World Chess Championship 1891
1890 – 1891
The third World Chess Championship was held in New York City from 9 December 1890 to 22 January 1891. Holder Wilhelm Steinitz (known as William Steinitz since his naturalisation as an American citizen) narrowly defeated his Hungarian challenger, Isidor Gunsberg.
Despite coming in 3rd place in the American Chess Congress's tournament held in 1889, the tied first-place finishers Mikhail Chigorin and Max Weiss refused to challenge the title.
