| Notes: |
| Spinrad gives the result of these offhand games as +6-1=1 from the New York Times of 27 Nov. 1858; Edge (p.201) also gives +6-1=1; Walker also gives +6-1=1 in Bell's Life in London (21 Nov. 1858, p.3); Lange gives +7-1=1, as does Löwenthal in the Era of 12 Dec. 1858 (p.5) and Falkbeer in the Sunday Times of 5 Dec. 1858 (p.10); Di Felice gives +3-2=1. These games must have taken place between Morphy's arrival in Paris, so in Sept., Oct. or Nov. 1858. Edge (p.149) says that Morphy played one game with de Rivière on his first visit to the Café de la Régence, which, according to Lawson was on 2 Sept. 1858. |
