| Notes: |
| This was a 30-player all-play-all handicap tournament. The Chess Player's Magazine of Nov. 1865 (p.345) gives total scores (numbers of wins and losses) by each player (draws did not count and are not noted) but most of the players did not complete the required 29 games and many were far short, and I do not know who actually played who in most cases, so I cannot use these total scores or construct a complete crosstable. In fact, only Isaacs and Pierpoint played all 29 games, each scoring 24 wins and 5 losses, and thus they were tied for first. The report does specify which five players beat Isaacs (Matthews, Meeker, Berry, Selkirk, Cooper) and which five beat Pierpoint (Isaacs, Horner, Lloyd, Selkirk, Biggs), so we can reconstruct all of the results (apart from draws) for those two players. Those scores are recorded here for rating purposes. There were four handicap classes, Class I, first and second divisions, and Class II, first and second divisions, but the handicaps given make it more convenient for me to record them as five classes, with a dummy class between I-2 and II-1. Then, the odds are the same for any two players one class apart, etc. |
