Staunton - Horwitz (1846)
Compiled by MissScarlett
--*--

This match took place from February to April 1846 in London. The venue was the George & Vulture Hotel, home to the London Chess Club. It was to last until 21 decisive games were completed, Staunton winning at a canter by +14 -7 =3. Club records indicate that the games were played in a private room.

This was Staunton's first serious contest on level terms since his victory over St. Amant at the end of 1843. The rematch set for November 1844 was aborted due to an illness that left him prostrate for three months and, one may speculate, affected his stamina to play long matches. Horwitz had only recently arrived in Britain from Hamburg - his stay would become permanent.
