Event data

Notes:
Le Sphinx of 15 June 1865 (p.76) says that Neumann had won a few games more than Anderssen over about 100 played. Di Felice gives a match result of +14-11=3 for Neumann. Renette and Zavatarelli (p.215), and the Neue Berliner Schachzeitung of Jun. 1865 (p.180), say that Neumann won about half the games they played during Anderssen's April visit to Berlin, and make no mention of a formal match. I will record a soft result of 52-48 for Neumann. I use the dates of Anderssen's stay in Berlin.
