| Notes: |
| Staunton, in the Chess Player's Chronicle of Feb. 1845 (pp.51-52), published a letter from Loveday, in which Loveday comments on some Indian players: 'These players I should consider equal in strength, not to the champion of England [Staunton] as he now is, but of the force he was in the years 1838-9, when I had the pleasure of contending a few games with him, without disadvantage on either side.' This I interpret to mean that there score in those games was roughly equal, so I record this as a soft result of 1-1. |
