| Name: Sheffield Athenaeum Chess Club Handicap Tournament |
| Place: Sheffield |
| Start date: 1870 |
| End date: Feb. 1870 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Only partial results available. This was a 24-player (Staunton says 23, but scores are out of 23, so probably 24 players) single-round all-play-all handicap tournament, with players in 5 classes. The odds between the various classes are not specified, but I am guessing that 2nd class gave 3rd Pawn and Move (which would be typical). Only results for the top three players are given by Staunton, including the play-off. |
