| Notes: |
| These results are probably not complete. In the third round, the pairings were Rumboll-Wilmot, Blake-Taylor, with Job getting a bye. Odds for these pairings were not specified. The Book of the Counties' Chess Association (p.61) says that there was not time to play all the games out and the prizes were divided among those left, one-third each going to Blake and Job, the other third split again between Rumboll and Wilmot. This suggests that Blake and Taylor did play their game, Blake winning, but at what odds is not known. Rumboll and Wilmot may have played a draw or not at all. Confusingly, the Nottinghamshire Guardian of 13 Aug. 1886 (p.3) has Moscardi instead of Wilmot winning one-sixth of the prize money. There may have been draws in other pairings, too, since victory in each pairing was determined by the first decisive game, but no draws are mentioned. The Nottinghamshire Guardian says that play in all sections of the Counties' Chess Association meeting (apart from the international tournament, evidently) finished on Sat. 7 Aug. 1886. |
