===Settles in United States=== In 1883, shortly after the London tournament, Steinitz decided to leave England and moved to New York City, where he lived for the rest of his life.<ref name="chessbaseVienna1882" /> This did not end the "Ink War": his enemies persuaded some of the American press to publish anti-Steinitz articles,<ref name="LandsbergerSteinitzPapers" /><ref name="NYTimes1887OnSteinitz" /> and in 1885 Steinitz founded the ''International Chess Magazine'', which he edited until 1895. In his magazine he chronicled the lengthy negotiations for a match with Zukertort. He also managed to find supporters in other sections of the American press including ''Turf, Field and Farm'' and the [[St. Louis Globe-Democrat|St. Louis ''Globe-Democrat'']], both of which reported Steinitz's offer to forgo all fees, expenses or share in the stake and make the match "a benefit performance, solely for Mr Zukertort's pecuniary profit".<ref name="WinterWorldChessChampion" />
