| Jan-13-16 | | zanzibar: <The Congress had now entered on its eighth week, and the Handicap still remained unfinished. The London
season was at an end, and but few cared to stay in town to witness the remaining proceedings, the players, also, whose contests were undecided, being seized with a wish for relaxation, after two months devoted to Chess play. By common consent, the Handicap was adjourned until a few weeks' repose in the country should re-invigorate their powers. The members of the London Chess Club, however, not satiated with all that had taken place, were desirous of testing the relative strength of Messrs. Anderssen and Paulsen, and of Messrs. Dubois and Steinitz. They therefore instituted two matches between the respective parties, for a stake of £10 in each case, the winners of five games to be winners respectively. The result of these interesting contests was as follows :— Anderssen . 3 Paulsen . 3 Drawn . 2
Steinitz . 5 Dubois . 3 Drawn . 1>

 | | MissScarlett: Reconstructing the schedule of this match is challenging because news of its progress in contemporary periodicals was scant, and none of the games were published until the following year. But we know it took place in a two-week period across July and August. The following is Tim Harding's proposed schedule of the order of games and dates, presented in his <Steinitz in London> (McFarland, 2020). The only documented date is that the final game took place on August 5th. The game order is markedly different to that of Fischer, who followed the arrangement of Bachmann. Game 1: Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862 July 25th Game 2: Steinitz vs Dubois, 1862 July 26th or 28th Game 3: Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862 July 29th Game 4: Steinitz vs Dubois, 1862 July 30th Game 5: Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862 July 31st Game 6: Steinitz vs Dubois, 1862 August 1st Game 7: Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862 August 2nd Game 8: Steinitz vs Dubois, 1862 August 4th Game 9: Dubois vs Steinitz, 1862 August 5th |
