Editing Wilhelm Steinitz (section)

====Increased tournament activity====
After losing the title, Steinitz played in tournaments more frequently than he had previously. He won at New York City 1894, and was fifth at [[Hastings 1895 chess tournament|Hastings 1895]] (winning the first brilliancy prize for his game with [[Curt von Bardeleben]]). At [[Saint Petersburg 1895–96 chess tournament|Saint Petersburg 1895]], a super-strong four player, multi-round-robin event, with Lasker, Chigorin and [[Harry Pillsbury|Pillsbury]], he took second place behind Lasker. Later his results began to decline: 6th in [[Nuremberg]] 1896, 5th in Cologne 1898, 10th in London 1899.<ref name="WallProfileSteinitz" />{{Unreliable source?|failed=y|date=December 2013}}<ref name="sympatico19thCentMatchesTournaments" />

In early 1896, Steinitz defeated the Russian [[Emanuel Schiffers]] in a match (winning 6 games, drawing 1, losing 4).<ref name="chessvilleSteinitzPapers" />
