   | Start date: Feb. 1877 |  
   | End date:   Sep. 1877 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Only partial results available. This was a handicap tournament for which van Winsen gives only the result of the play-off for first prize (+2-0=2 for Doyle). No odds are mentioned for this play-off match, so I guess that it was played even. |  |  |  |
