Blackburne crushes Fischer

Simply because I haven't featured a game of is for a while, I've dug up a win by Joseph Blackburne. It was played as part of a simul he gave in Melbourne in 1885, and it was against a player by the name of Fischer. I'm assuming this Fischer is no relation to Bobby, but it does make a good headline.
