| Di Felice gives a result of +13-9=2 for Neumann. Renette and Zavatarelli, quote the Schachzeitung, saying 'Neumann stood completely equal with Prof. Anderssen after a large number of games'. It seems likely that Di Felice is only reporting results of published games, which are not necessarily representative. I give a soft result of 25/50 to represent equality after 'a large number' of games. The Schachzeitung suggests that these games were played around the Easter holidays, which were 30 Mar. - 2 Apr. 1866. I take approximate dates as Mar.-Apr. 1866. |
