| Winter discusses various dates given for these games (1860, 1861 and 1862) and concludes that they occurred in 1861, based on the appearance of one of the games in the Sept. 1861 issue of the Chess Player's Chronicle. He also gives the result as either +1-0=1 for Campbell (according to MacDonnell's 'Knights and Kings of Chess', which is not reliable, as well as the Chess Monthly of Feb. 1891), or +1-1 (according to the British Chess Magazine of Feb. 1891). Sergeant's 'A Century of British Chess' (p.107) also gives +1-1 as the score. Since the former result is given in the obituary in the Chess Monthly of Feb. 1891, which also gave the correct year, I will take this result as correct. The games must have been played before Sept. 1861 since the win by Campbell appeared in the Sept. 1861 issue of the Chess Player's Chronicle (p.261) and the 1 Sep. 1861 issue of the Era (p.14). |
