| Reichhelm and Lawson say that Morphy first lost 2 games to Thomas when giving him Knight odds (and later won +2-0=1 also at Knight odds but when Thomas agreed to defend with e5, listed as a separate result here). Lawson says these were played on 1 Nov. 1859. Kingston says 2 Nov. 1859, but referring to Lawson. |
