| Notes: |
| This is a soft result, included to try to gauge Topi's strength in relation to English players. Dubois discusses the visit of Wyvill, Knight, and a third English player to Rome in 1840, saying that Topi fought with advantage against the third player, whose name Dubois did not recall, but who they nicknamed 'il gatto nero'. I will use a soft 1.5-0.5 result to represent the phrase 'fought with advantage' ('si batteva con vantaggio'). |
