Event table notes

| Event data |
| Name: 4th British Chess Association Congress - Grand Tournament |
| Place: Bristol |
| Start date: 10 Sep. 1861 |
| End date: 20 Sep. 1861 |
| |
| Notes: |
| 8-player knockout tournament. One win required per round, exclusive of draws. Feenstra Kuiper gives total scores suggesting that Paulsen-Kolisch only had one draw. All other sources show the score of this match to be +1-0=2 for Paulsen. Di Felice mistakenly gives Paulsen's first name as Ludwig. Spinrad gives the result +1-0=2 for Paulsen in offhand games against Kolisch (from Life Maps of the Masters), and the Illustrated London News of 21 Sept. 1861 (p.309) gives this result from 'a short encounter' between Paulsen and Kolisch, but these were almost certainly the 3 games between them from the Bristol tournament. Sergeant, in A Century of British Chess (p.109), says the final between Paulsen and Boden was played in London on 21 Sept. 1861. |
