Di Felice and Renette and Zavatarelli give dates 14-18 Mar. 1866 and location as Moscow; Feenstra Kuiper and La Grande Storia degli Scacchi also give location as Moscow. The Illustrated London News of 19 May 1866 has a win by Urusov in Moscow but the 23 June 1866 issue has a win by Hirschfeld with location given as Saint Petersburg. Le Sphinx of 1 June 1866 (p.27) gives the location as Moscow, as does Bell's Life in London (15 Dec. 1866, p.9), and the Illustrirte Zeitung of 16 Jun. 1866 (p.414). The Schachzeitung of May 1866 (pp.148-151) gives all 5 games, played in Moscow.
