   | Name: Saint Petersburg Tournament |  
   | Place: Saint Petersburg |  
   | Start date: 17 Mar. 1863 |  
   | End date:   17 Mar. 1863 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Only partial results available. This was a knockout tournament, but only the result of the final is given in Shakhmatniy Listok, that Mikhailov beat Rosenberger. The exact score is not given, but typically with one-day knockout tournaments, there would be only one game per pairing, so I have assumed a 1-0 result here. |  |  |  |
