| Notes: |
| This is the second part of a long match between Burn and Owen that lasted from Sept. 1874 to Dec. 1875. Forster gives a full description, dividing the match into 6 stages, with the months in which each stage was played. Because the match was so long, I have split it into two parts, the first consisting of the games played in 1874 and the second the games played in 1875. The last 3 stages, as given by Forster, were played in 1875 and are included here, covering the months Jan., Nov. and Dec. 1875. Di Felice gives a result +4-4 as having been played between Burn and Owen in Liverpool in 1874 as well as the final result of this entire match +11-6=3 for Burn, as having been played in London in 1875. It is not clear where the +4-4 result came from, though it may be a distortion of the result in this match as of the end of 1874 when Burn had scored 8 wins and Owen 4 (as well as 3 draws). Feenstra Kuiper gives only the total score with date 1875 and location London. The City of London Chess Magazine of Dec. 1875 (p.327) and Sergeant give a result of +10-5 'and some draws' for Burn, but this probably includes the 1874 match games, recorded here separately. Forster gives the location as Liverpool. |
