Notes:
Only partial results available. This was a six-player tournament, in which the players were paired in the first round, the losers being eliminated, and then the final three had to play one game against each other (probably exclusive of draws). We know that Höing beat Neuhausen and Hammacher beat Schlieper in the first round, and one game in each case is given in the Neue Berliner Schachzeitung of Dec. 1866 (pp.357-359), and the Schachzeitung of 1867 (pp.69-74), though exact scores are not given. I assume 1-0 in each case. Keller, who wrote the report in the Schachzeitung, gave only the two games played between himself and Riefenstahl with result +1-0=1 for Keller, so I assume this was the result of their pairing. We also know that Höing came first, and Ed. Hammacher and Ad. Keller tied for second (awarded to Hammacher, since Keller couldn't play the tie-breaker). The Schachzeitung of 1867 also has a draw between Ed. Hammacher and Höing, which probably indicates that the result between those two was +1-0=1 for Höing. Given the final outcome, I assume Höing also beat Keller, so I use a 1-0 result here, too. There are also a few of games of von Böckmann against these players, played at the same event, but he does not seem to have been in the tournament.
