| The result is sometimes given as +6-3=2 for Leonard, but Hilbert makes clear that the 11th game was not really a draw, being unfinished, and the result of games played out was +6-3=1 for Leonard. The last day of play was 1 Apr. 1861 but if we don't count the 11th game, the last completed game was finished sometime in the last few days of March. The Era of 5 May 1861 (p.14) gives the starting date as 19 Mar. 1861. Hilbert gives 20 Mar. 1861. |
