| Notes: |
| Only partial results available. The Chess Player's Chronicle indicates that Steinitz beat Potter +2-0=0 in their encounter as part of this knockout tournament. Steinitz ended up winning the event but I don't have numerical scores for any of the other individual encounters. Forster gives the year as 1871. The Field of 9 Dec. 1871 gives the initial pairings (information from Tim Harding) so the event apparently began in Dec. 1871. Steinitz' games against Potter were played in Feb. 1872, according to the Field of 9 Mar. 1872 (information from Tim Harding). The final pool was won by Steinitz, with Keates 2nd, Fenton 3rd and Baxter 4th (Field 25 May 1872, p.476, from personal communication with Tim Harding). |
