Notes: |
Gaige indicates that Anderssen won the play-off with Mieses but does not give the play-off score; Di Felice and La Grande Storia degli Scacchi give the play-off score as 1-0. The Deutsche Schachzeitung of Jan. 1872 (p.11) says they only had to play one play-off game, and that Anderssen won it. Feenstra Kuiper just gives total scores for each player, but they are consistent if they include the 1-0 play-off result. The schedule for the tournament indicated that it would finish on 31 Dec. 1871, but on p.10 of the Jan. 1872 Deutsche Schachzeitung, it says that everything was finished on Saturday, Dec. 30. |
