| Notes: |
| This was an 8-player knockout tournament. Gaige, Di Felice, and Zavatarelli all give all 1st round scores as 2-0 based on the vague statement in the Chess Player's Chronicle that Kolisch, Stanley, Horne and Zytogorski '...won the first two games, and remained, therefore, winners in the first round, which only lasted altogether between three and four hours.' Feenstra Kuiper and Reichhelm only list total scores for each player but are consistent with all 1st round scores being 2-0. However, Spinrad, the 'La Grande Storia degli Scacchi' web site, and the Spirit of the Times of 22 Sep. 1860 give 2-1 for the Horne-Puller match, and ChessBase has 3 games including a win by Puller, so I assume this to be correct. Feenstra Kuiper's and Reichhelm's totals are incorrect in giving Kolisch only 4 points, as if he won only 2 from Stanley as well as the 2 from Geake, and Löwenthal gives explicitly 2-0 for Kolisch, but the Chess Player's Chronicle makes it clear (p.291-292) that Kolisch won 3 against Stanley, all 3 games being given in fact (p.293-297). Neither Löwenthal, Feenstra Kuiper, Gaige, Di Felice nor the Chess Player's Chronicle give the result 1-0 for Kolisch against Zytogorski in round 2, but the Manchester Weekly Express and Guardian indicates that one game was played but resigned by Zytogorski, despite not being in a losing position. Gaige and Di Felice have an end date of 1 Sept. 1860, but the final was only announced in the 8 Sept. 1860 issue of the Manchester Weekly Express and Guardian and the result reported in the 15 Sept. 1860 issue. On the other hand, Stanley, in a letter to the Spirit of the Times (6 Oct. 1860), gives the date of the last game of his final match against Kolisch as 31 August. On p.311 of the Chess Player's Chronicle, a win by Kolisch against Geake is given, Kolisch gaving odds of a knight, and it says that this was played at the Cambridge Meeting, but the two games given in Chessbase were played even, so the odds game must have been played outside the main tournament. |
