| Notes: |
| The Glasgow Weekly Herald of 11 Aug. 1877 has a full crosstable, including games played by Skipworth and Ranken, who withdrew before playing all their games. The report in the Chess Player's Chronicle gives only total scores, not a crosstable, and gives Fisher's score as +2-7=0, whereas the full crosstable shows it to be +2-8=0. According to the Chess Player's Chronicle, Yarranton won a play-off for 4th prize against Pierpoint and Halford, but when Skipworth's and Ranken's games are cancelled, it is Yarranton, Pierpoint, and Minchin who were equal at 4.5 points. I will assume that Yarranton beat both Pierpoint and Minchin in single play-off games. Whether Pierpoint and Minchin played in the play-off is unstated. |
