| Event data |
| Name: Huddersfield - Wakefield Club Match |
| Place: Wakefield |
| Start date: 14 Dec. 1861 |
| End date: 14 Dec. 1861 |
| |
| Notes: |
| This was intended to be a 9-a-side inter-club match, with two games per pairing, but W.H.B. Tomlinson of Wakefield and W. Parratt of Huddersfield were unable to attend, so their 2 games were unplayed and 3 other games were unfinished or unstarted, the second Watkinson-Hunter game as well as both games J.R. Robinson - R. Oswald. These were planned to be played out in Jan. 1862, but, according to the Chess Player's Chronicle of Apr. 1862 (p.102) and the Manchester Weely Express and Review of 22 Mar. 1862, this plan was never carried out and Wakefield resigned the match. The Era of 22 Dec. 1861 (p.4) says that 2 games were drawn in addition to the +9-4 result recorded here, but we don't know which players were involved. |
