I initially decided to find scores of various important chess results from the romantic era, to decide who was really the strongest player in the days between LaBourdonnais and Anderssen. The time period widened a bit, as I needed to find results from the strong players outside of this time period. I ended up arbitrarily cutting off the time period, and trying to keep track of results in the time period 1836-1863. Perhaps someone can help me in collecting scores, and verifying I have consciously decide to keep serious "friendly" results as well as matches, since I believe these are important in judging relative strengths, when the number of matches played (especially across national boundaries) is so small. Many of these were played without game scores being kept, but there is nevertheless some evidence for them. I do not claim to be a chess historian; any help is graciously appreciated. I realize certain match scores are contradictory or incorrect, but cannot resolve the issues on my own.

I leave my old note as is.) (schach-datenbank, Oxford encyclopedia) give a different version, with an extra Anderssen-Horwitz draw rather than Anderssen drawing Harrwitz, and Anderssen-Horwitz as unplayed, I believe that the above results due to a forgotten source are the correct ones. See my post on rec.games.chess.misc on the London 1851 all-play-all. They make more sense as a tournament result (the extra Harrwitz games vs Ehrmann and Meyerhofer would be necessary if Harrwitz drew Anderssen, since he could still tie Anderssen for first.
