Event table notes
|
| Event data |
| Name: Ries' Divan tournament |
| Place: London, England |
| Start date: Jan. 1849 |
| End date: Feb. 1849 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The 3 Feb. 1849 issue of the Illustrated London News (p.75) says that the tournament had started and that the first round games were played 'last week'. So it started in late Jan. 1849. The issue of 17 Feb. 1849 gave the winners, so it must have finished in early to mid-Feb. 1849. The April issue of La Régence says it 'finished the other day', but this must allow for the delay in transmission of the news to France. |
