It looks like I have my answer. Nov-20-24    notaGMyet: Can somebody explain why the first game is reported as 1-0 for Shumov but the game says it was won by Kolisch? Nov-20-24    WannaBe: Because Putin said so... Nov-20-24    jnpope: Turns out <CG> has had the wrong version of the first game (noted a long time ago Shumov vs Kolisch, 1862 (kibitz #7)). I checked Zavatarelli's <Ignaz Kolisch> book and his citations lead to <Shakhmatny Listok>, n41, May 1862, p98, for the earliest version (where Schumov won) and a later version given in <Le Palamède Français>, v1 n13, September 1865, pp28-30 (where Kolisch won). I've updated the game to the version given in the earlier source (which now matches up with the xtab) and I have added source tags to the PGN.
