| Notes: |
| Not a formal match, according to Potter's obituary of Staunton in the City of London Chess Magazine. Harding says Buckle was one better in about 15 games played. Hilbert gives the reuslt as +8-7 for Buckle. Staunton, in The Illustrated London News (1 Nov. 1851, p.547; 26 Jun. 1852, p.511) says Buckle played only 3 games with Anderssen, winning all of them. Sergeant quotes J.O. Howard Taylor to say only that they played 'rather a large number of casual parties' and that Anderssen 'did not establish any superiority'. I presume these games were played in July or Aug. 1851, after the International Tournament and before Anderssen's departure. Sergeant also says that although they were casual games, Anderssen claimed to have tried hard to win. |
