Event table notes

Event data
Place: Warsaw
Start date: 1843
End date: 1843
 
Notes:
According to Hooper and Whyld, 'Petroff won matches against Jaenisch in the 1840s'. In the Deutsche Schachzeitung of June 1873 (p.171), von der Lasa says that Petrov consistently gave von Jaenisch odds of Pawn and Move, but that von Jaenisch won the majority when given Pawn and Two Moves. Two wins by von Jaenisch when given Pawn and Two Moves during von Janeisch's visit to Warsaw in 1843 are given here as another result, so I include a 2-0 result for Petrov at Pawn and Move here in 1843 as a soft result to counterbalance the two games at Pawn and Two Moves won by von Jaenisch.
