Albert Fox

Born in Boston, he spent a few years in Germany, studying mathematics.

By the end of his sojourn in Europe, he won several brilliant games in 1900 and 1901 at Café de la Régence in Paris, and in Antwerp and Heidelberg.

He tied for 10–11th at Cambridge Springs 1904 (won by Frank James Marshall), won Manhattan Chess Club Championship in 1905/06, tied for 2nd–3rd with Marshall, behind Eugene Delmar, at New York 1906, took 3rd at Trenton Falls 1906 (Quadrangular, Emanuel Lasker won), and tied for 7–8th at New York 1916 (Rice tournament, José Raúl Capablanca won).

[3] By 1915, Fox moved to Washington D.C. to "engage in newspaper work" for the Washington Post[4] and shortly after gave up professional chess play.
