 | | MissScarlett: Replying to a correspondent, Elijah Williams in the <Field> of August 20th 1853, p.189: <We hear Mr. Staunton has gone to Germany; we hope with the view to negotiate a match with his late conqueror, Anderssen, or with Heydebrauht [sic].> I suspect Williams was misinformed. |

 | | offramp: Mr Edo looked into his obsidian seeing glass.
He opened his third eye, a ghastly sight!!
He visualised the two players: Herr Tassilo von der Lasa as 2624 - Mr Howard Staunton as 2649 in 1853.
This could have been the world's strongest match of that year, says Mr Edo. |
