Event table notes

Event data
Name: 2nd Nordic Tourney
Place: Copenhagen
Start date: 21 Aug. 1899
End date: 31 Aug. 1899
 
Notes:
La Grande Storia degli Scacchi gives 'Krause A.', 'Rosendahl A.', 'Nielsen V.' and 'Pritzel S.' at this event where Di Felice gives 'Krause, Orla Hermann', 'Rosendahl, W.', 'Nielsen, K.' and 'Pritzel, Axel Carl Martin' respectively. The tournament book has 'H. Krause', 'A.C. Rosendahl', 'V. Nielsen', and 'S. Pritzel'. I presume that this was Orla Hermann Krause, and use the tournament book for correct identification of the other players. Gaige does not show Taeckholm as a participant. La Grande Storia degli Scacchi, Di Felice and the tournament book give the results of Taeckholm's 5 games, though not counted in official totals. Dahl forfeited to Möller, Krause, Nielsen, Aberstén, and Englund.
