Event table notes
|
| Event data |
| Name: Purssell's Chess Rooms Handicap |
| Place: London, England |
| Start date: Mar. 1859 |
| End date: 3 May 1859 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Bird, Falkbeer and Hughes gave Pawn and Two Moves to all the other players and played even amongst themselves, and all other players played even amongst themselves. I am guessing that the Gover at this event was W.S. Gover. In the first round Williams did not appear to play Bird, who won by default. |
