Event data |
Name: Ries' Divan Handicap Tournament |
Place: London, England |
Start date: Mar. 1856 |
End date: Apr. 1856 |

Notes: |
16-player handicap knockout. Selfe was winning his first round match against Boden, but had to leave, so Boden then played Trelawney (who had already lost to Solomons) and this time Trelawney won to go on to round 2. In round 2 Kenny should have given Pawn and move to Stewart, but at this point it was decided that Stewart had been handicapped too much, so they played even. The final was never played. Kenny beat Wilson by default. Dates are not given, but the Chess Player's Chronicle gives some 1st round games in the Apr. issue and the final results in the May issue, so I estimate that it took place from March to April. Sergeant and Hilbert, following Sergeant, mistakenly say that Buckle participated in this event. |
