| Notes: |
| Only partial results available. The Dubuque Chess Journal gives the final scores and odds classes of the top four players. The odds are not specified, so I guess at the usual scale of Pawn and Move for a class difference of 1, and Pawn and Two Moves for a class difference of 2. This was presumably a 17-player double-round all-play-all tournament, since each player had to play 32 games, and there were only 20 players in the club, so it could not have been a 33-player single-round all-play-all tournament. We also know the final score of Julius Frick (19.5), since he had finished all his games by the time of the report in the Jul. 1875 issue of the Dubuque Chess Journal, but we don't know his odds class and so can't include his result. We also know that G. Havenstein had 19 out of 29 (with 3 to play), and A. Havenstein had 18.5 out of 30 (with 2 to play) in the Jul. 1875 report, but we don't know their final scores and so don't include them either. The Oct. 1875 issue of the Dubuque Chess Journal says the tournament had 'just finished', so I will guess that it finished in Sep. 1875. The score of H. Unger, who won the tournament, and the second and third prize winners were nevertheless known at the time of the report in the 29 May 1875 issue of the New York Clipper. |
