| Notes: |
| Gaige, Di Felice, Feenstra Kuiper and La Grande Storia degli Scacchi are all in agreement with regard to the results, though Gaige does not include Stern, only indicating that some sources score all of his games to his opponents. Feenstra Kuiper and Di Felice indicate that Stern withdrew after playing 2 opponents, and that his scores were struck out, despite his having drawn one against Steinitz and won one against von Minckwitz. Staunton in the Illustrated London News (Aug. 6) indicates that Stern actually lost both games against von Minckwitz and then after two rounds had a score of +0-4=0. This, if correct, would contradict Feenstra Kuiper's and Di Felice's results for Stern. But perhaps this score after 2 rounds already reflects the fact that he'd withdrawn and his score had been reset to zero, so I will use Di Felice's result. Staunton's Aug. 27 column gives the complete crosstable with the 5 defaulted games scored as if played, and gives Stern 0 across the board. It also has an inconsistency in giving the 2nd Anderssen-Winawer game as a win for Winawer in one place and a draw in the other. Other sources give it as a win for Winawer. Harding suggests that von Minckwitz only played in the first 'cycle' and de Vere only in the 2nd, but Staunton's Aug. 6 column makes it clear that de Vere and von Minckwitz were both present from the beginning. |
