| Notes: |
| Van Winsen dates this match to Feb. 1875, but since the result appears in the Feb. 1875 issue of the Maryland Chess Review and the 6 Feb. 1875 issue of the Hartford Weekly Times (in both cases combined with the result of offhand games), it seems likely that it was played earlier. I will tentatively date it to Jan. 1875. It might have been still earlier, but the New York Clipper of 20 Feb. 1875 says that Delmar's visit to Philadelphia was 'recent'. |
