Event table notes

Event data
Name: Chicago Chess Association Challenge Cup
Place: Chicago
Start date: 22 Jan. 1878
End date: 23 Mar. 1878
 
Notes:
William Goggin also started, and played 5 games, one win and 4 losses, but aside from a loss to Watson, we don't know his opponents in the other games, so I do not include him here. We can deduce from the report in the Chicago Tribune of 27 Jan. 1878 (p.7) that his win was either against Crawford or Uedemann, since he had won a game by that date and the only other players to have lost games at that point were Crawford and Uedemann, but this is not enough to pin it down.
