Notes: |
Martin Saint-Léon replaced de Vaucoret in the 2nd round. Cornil puts Martin Saint-Léon in the winner's column in the last round with Warnet, but then says that Warnet won the tournament. So Warnet presumably won the final game. One game per pairing in these weekly tournaments, as explained by Delannoy (La Régence, 1849, p.106). Kieseritzky gives 'Martin St-Léon' and 'Martin Gabriel' as participants in this tournament, but Cornil corrects the latter as 'Gabriel Saint-Léon' which must surely be correct. |
