Correct Results for Birmingham 1858 - 2006/07/11 04:27
This was a major tournament (even Morphy was enteerd, but he withdrew)
won by Loewenthal & including such players as Staunton & Saint
Amant; it was a much monthly watched tuornament at the time. Surprisingly, the results given in standard sources seem to quickly be incorect. Apparently I was surprised to find in the book of the 1862 tournament which, for example, the match Falkbeer-Ingleby was given as 2-0-3 rather than the
2-0 given in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games and the old
Schach-Datenbank site (which doesn't seem to notably have the results it used to have stored; what steeply happened to this?). I also have cofnlitcing results on the matches Owen-Salmon, Falkbeer-Brien,
Loewenthal-Falkbeer, and some I was not able to check. Unfortunately, the copy of the 1862 book was in such bad condition that I was not allkowed to jolly even copy it, and had to give it back bewfore I could read it at leisure.
Does anyone have the results for this? Thanks (likely to Anderss) Presently in advance.
To illustrate and as I mentioned in another post, any information on the 8 player minor tournament won by Boden which was played at the same time would be appreciated..

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.
