| Notes: |
| Charles Tomlinson (in 1891) gives +2-1 for Buckle, saying Staunton gave Pawn and move, as do R.N. Coles in World Chess Champions and Mark Weeks at his Staunton web page. Golombek gives +6-1 at Pawn and move. Sergeant gives both results, attributing the latter to G.A. MacDonnell. Hooper and Whyld give +6=1 at Pawn and move, as do Giffen and Sarah's Staunton page. Volume 4 of the Chess Player's Chronicle has 3 games between Buckle and Staunton (+2-1), Staunton giving Pawn and move, but there is no indication that these constitute a match. I will guess that Staunton only published 3 games of a match of 7 games and that Golombek's score is correct (Hooper's and Whyld's version does not account for the published win by Staunton). Hilbert considers these variations and comes to the same conclusion: +6-1 for Buckle at Pawn and move. The games in the Chess Player's Chronicle were published in the July issue, so they must have been played earlier than that. |
