Many thanks to <Phony Benoni> for figuring out the dates. The game scores are updated with modern dates (Gregorian). However, the match was played in St Petersburg when Russia still used the Julian calendar. The Julian dates and the day of the week are given the collection. A close match that had Schiffers leading 4 games to 3. Steinitz won three of the last four games to win the match 6 games to 4 with one draw.
