Name: Vienna Club Winter Tournament
Place: Vienna
Start date:
End date: 1887
 
Notes:
It is not stated how many players were in this tournament, nor how many rounds there were. Scores are out of 28, however, so it was either an 8-player tournament with 4 rounds, or a 15-player tournament with 2 rounds, or a 29-player tournament with one round. The first option is unlikely, since then the remaining 4 players would have had only 18.5 points between them. I guess that it was a double-round all-play-all, like other tournaments in Vienna near the time. The remaining 11 players would have had an average score of 10.6. It is possible also that it was a large single-round all-play-all, in which case the remaining 25 players would have had an average score of 12.5, but this seems less likely.
