| Notes: |
| Spinrad gives the year as 1838 in some places, but points out that the Chess Player's Chronicle (1847) says Szén's visit was in 'the spring of 1839', and gives an exact date of 17 Apr. 1839 for Szén's games against von der Lasa and Mayet on this visit. I therefore assume a date of Apr. 1839. Sarah gives 1838. The Neue Berliner Schachzeitung of Aug.-Sep. 1867 (p.225) mentions one game of Szen against Bledow and says that von Bilguer won two against Szen. This contradicts earlier sources (Chess Player's Chronicle and the Schachzeitung), all of which say that Szen played only one against von Bilguer (and two against Bledow). |
