Staunton - Popert (1840-41)
Compiled by MissScarlett

The match began in 1840 at the London CC (Popert being a member) and ended in early February 1841. The score, said to be the best of 21 games, was, apparently, 11-10 in favour of Staunton with a number of draws. Later that year, another series took place at Goode's Chess Rooms, a public venue frequented by Staunton, but it's unclear under what terms these games took place.

Little else is known about the schedule of these contests, so they're listed here in the order they appear in the British Miscellany and its successor, Chess Player's Chronicle, both under the auspices of Staunton.
