Event table notes

Event data
Place: Rome, Italy
Start date: 1840
End date: 1840
 
Notes:
This is a soft result, included to try to gauge Toni's strength in relation to English players. Dubois discusses the visit of Wyvill, Knight, and a third English player to Rome in 1840, saying that Toni fought successfully against the third player, whose name Dubois did not recall, but who they nicknamed 'il gatto nero'. I will use a soft 1.5-0.5 result to represent the phrase 'fought successfully' ('lottava anch'egli con successo').
