The Anglo-American cable chess matches were a series of yearly chess matches between teams from the United States and Great Britain conducted over transatlantic cable from 1896 to 1911, except for the three-year gap of 1904 to 1906 when no matches were held. This series was closely contested, with each team winning six matches and one match being drawn. The individual game total over the series was also even (+39 −39 =50). The series ended when Great Britain won their third consecutive match, thereby earning permanent custody of the silver cup provided by Sir George Newnes. There were other cable matches held in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but this series is the most well-known.

There were other cable matches held in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but this series is the most well-known. Prominent players from both sides of the Atlantic would participate over the years. Some who played for Great Britain included Joseph Blackburne, Amos Burn, Henry Bird, Henry Atkins, Horatio Caro, James Mason, Frederick Yates, Sir George Thomas, and Thomas Lawrence. Some who played for the United States included Harry Pillsbury, Jackson Showalter, Frank Marshall, Albert Hodges, Eugene Delmar, and John Barry. (en)
  • Шахматные матчи по телеграфу между командами Англии и США проводились ежегодно с 1896 по 1911 г. (за исключением перерыва в 1904—1906 гг.). Средством проведения матчей служил трансатлантический кабель. Всего было проведено 13 матчей. Каждая команда выиграла по 6 матчей, еще 1 завершился вничью. Счет партий также был равным (39 : 39 при 50 ничьих). В качестве приза издатель журнала "Strand Magazine" Джордж Ньюнс учредил переходящий кубок. После третьей подряд победы сборной Англии в 1911 г. кубок перешел к англичанам на вечное хранение, а матчи перестали проводиться. Каждая пара шахматистов играла по 1 партии. Игра продолжалась в течение 2 дней (4 часа каждый день). Контроль времени — 1 час на 20 ходов. Матчи начинались в 15:00 по лондонскому времени (в 10:00 по нью-йоркскому времени). По окончании установленного времени незавершенные партии присуждались. (ru)
