   | Notes: |  
   | The Chess Monthly of June 1859 (p.199) says that Morphy and Delannoy played about thirty games at Knight odds, of which Morphy won two-thirds. Given the result +13-4 for Morphy for the first set of games at these odds between these two, the remaining set must have been about +7-6 for Morphy, to make for a total of +20-10. |  |  |  |
