Harrwitz - Loewenthal (1853)
Compiled by MissScarlett

Match began on the 26th of September, location being the Ship Hotel in Charing Cross.

Elijah Williams, replying to a correspondent in the <Field> of October 29th 1853, p.429:

We are credibly informed that Mr. Lowenthal was very willing to forego his claim to the two games forfeited to him, but was prevented by his backers. No fine player, as Mr. L. unquestionably is, would wish to win his match by such means.

I've chosen to number the games to reflect the two forfeited games (8 & 9), because their result is relevant to the state of the match i.e., the race to eleven wins. Contemporary sources, such as the <British Chess Review> and the <Field> discounted them, meaning their numeration ran only to 31. If justification is necessary, see Fischer vs Spassky, 1972.
