"Un match, au premier sept parties, engagé dans ces derniers temps entre M. Kolisch et M. Rosenthal, amateur polonais de réputation, a excité un vif intérêt, surtout par l'importance peu usitée de l'enjeu. M. Kolisch, qui jouait 200 francs contre 100, après avoir perdu la première partie, a gagné successivement les sept suivantes et a été vainqueur."(4)
"Cafe de la Regence.-Contests creating an unusual degree of excitement at this famous resort of French amateurs took place recently between Messrs. Kolish and Rosenthal. The conditions were that the games should be played upon equal terms, but that M. Kolisch should lay 200 francs against his opponents 100, on each game. The result of the playing was that M. Kolisch lost the first game, and then won seven games consecutively."(5)
Notes
Prior research into this match has dated it as occurring during "December, 1864, and January, 1865"(1) and "November 1864"(2), but Le Palamède Français indicates the match began October 1864(3). Le Palamède Français published one game (the seventh of the match) in the issue of October 1864 with the remaining seven games being published the following month strongly indicating that the match was also completed in October of 1864.
