| Name: Michigan State Tournament - First Class |
| Place: Jackson, Michigan |
| Start date: 19 Jan. 1869 |
| End date: 23 Jan. 1869 |

| Notes: |
| Nick Pope has reconstructed the results of this tournament from Jackson, Michigan newspapers and posted it at chessgames.com. Incomplete information is found in various New York newspapers. Nichols and Henry Harrison Swan both had a bye in the first elimination round (perhaps their opponents did not appear to play?). They joined the four winners of the first round to compete in the second elimination round, but H.H. Swan forfeited to J.P. Swan without playing (so H.H. Swan did not play any games in this event and does not appear here for rating purposes). That left Michaelis, Smith and J.P. Swan to play two games against each other (like a double-round all-play-all, but listed here as three separate matches), in which Michaelis scored the most points and won the event. The results reported in the New York Clipper of 6 Feb. 1869 are garbled. |
