| Notes: |
| Mouret played these games as operator of the Turk. Hunneman's book (1820) claims only that the games he published are a selection. However, it is likely that for the period in which he recorded games, he recorded all the games played by the strong players against the Turk. Thus, I am guessing that this is a complete result for the period of 1820 over which Hunneman was recording games. Game 7 in Hunneman's book has the player listed only as 'Mr. *****', but Walker identifies the player as 'Mr. M**c**r', which is pretty clearly meant to be 'Mercier'. However, Levitt identifies the player in game 7 as 'Mesire'. I have assumed Walker is correct here. |
