| Notes: |
| Löwenthal says he played Stanley the evening they first met in New York 'the result being, I think, even games'. This was just before Stanley went to Washington to play his match against Turner (11-14 Feb. 1850), and thus, probably early Feb. 1850. The Albion of 9 Feb. 1850 says that they have played a number of games with equal results. Staunton, in the Illustrated London News (16 Mar. 1850, p.183) says that a match is about to be played between Löwenthal and Stanley in New York, and this comes a week after Staunton's report on the Stanley-Turner match. So the 3-3 result given by Feenstra Kuiper, Di Felice, Hooper and Whyld, Spinrad, Sarah's Chess Journal and La Grande Storia degli Scacchi may refer to the informal games before the Stanley-Turner match or a possible more formal match after the Stanley-Turner match. In any case, Löwenthal left New York on 3 Mar. 1850, so his games with Stanley most likely took place in Feb. 1850. |
