| Notes: |
| The number of games is not specified in Le Palamède of 1836. It is stated on p.311 that Bouncourt won one more than Szen, but on p.363 that they won an equal number of games. In Bell's Life in London (25 Dec. 1836) it is stated that it was a match of 12 games, the result being +6-6. Di Felice gives the result as +2-1 for Boncourt, but that accounts only for the 3 games actually published (in Le Palamède). Barcza says that Szen was slightly ahead. |
