| Apr-05-15 | | zanzibar: An amusing illustration of the match from <ACM v2 Dec 1898 No 6 p265>: https://zanchess.wordpress.com/2015... Maybe the following info is not found above:
<Hours of play are from 1:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon and from 8 to 12 in the evening. Professor Isaac L. Rice is referee, Major J. M. Hanham acts as a second for Showalter, and Gustav Koehler is second for Janowski.> The days of play state that the tournament started on Nov. 17, with games to commence on alternate days thereafter. Briefly checking the dates on <CG>, where the 1st game is 11/18, and the 2nd is 11/22 I think there's a discrepancy, but I'm not inclined to investigate further at the moment. But would somebody like to comment? |

| Apr-06-15 | | zanzibar: Also, it appears that Judge Max Judd, of St Louis, played a pivotal role in organizing this match, personally guaranteeing the purse until members of the Manhattan Chess Club (MCC) could raise the amount via subscripton. See <ACM v2 1898 p216>. There is a full page line drawing of Janowski on the previous page. |
