Start date:
End date: Jan. 1880
 
Notes:
Zavatarelli and Renette suggest that there might have been 6 games with an even result, instead of 5, as stated in the Illustrated London News, because of the alternation of moves in the full match, which involved games at Pawn and Two Move odds as well as these at Knight odds.
