Event table notes

Event data
Name: Weiner Schachgesellschaft Tournament
Place: Vienna
Start date: 22 Nov. 1871
End date: Apr. 1872
 
Notes:
Only partial results available. This was a 24-player double-round all-play-all tournament, but 7 players withdrew before finishing, forfeiting the rest of their games, so only 17 players finished. Scores of only the top 13 are reported. Who forfeited against whom is not reported, so there will be some inaccuracy here in counting as played some games that were not, but the official scores should give a fairly accurate idea of the performance of the players. Also, there was a play-off between Boulles-Russig, Liharzik, and Schlemm, resulting in the order given. No specific results are given, but we may surmise that Boulles-Russig won a game against each of the others, and that Liharzik won a game against Schlemm, so I will make this assumption.
