Biographical data Name: Anderssen, Karl Ernst Adolf (offhand)   Born: 6 July 1818 Died: 13 Mar. 1879   Notes: This is, of course, the Adolf Anderssen, but (following Spinrad) for rating purposes I have considered Anderssen the offhand player as a separate person from Anderssen the formal match and tournament player. Spinrad argued (in postings about his attempts at historical ratings in the Avler Chess Forum) that, more than other players apparently, Anderssen played differently in offhand and formal events, being more experimental in the former. It is often difficult to ascertain, however, whether an event was considered formal or not, and I have in many cases had to just make a judgement based on the information available to me.   References Books    Gaige, Chess Personalia, page 9
