   | According to an article by P.P. Saburov in the Chess Bulletin of Oct. 1913, quoted by Kentler, the match was suspended before the fifth game finished, with a score in the first four games of +1-1=2. An earlier article by P.P. Saburov in the Weiner Schachzeitung of Nov.-Dec. 1911 (p.355), however, says +1=3 for Polner. |
