My first formal match was with Mr. Turner. It was arranged for me by the kind offices of Mr. Stanley and Mr. Thompson, and was played at New York. In this and another match, which immediately followed, I was the conqueror; but I regret to say that I have not preserved any of the games. (The Book of the First American Chess Congress, Fiske, New York 1857, pp390-391)

Lowenthal - Turner (1): +6-2=2 (ILN, 1850.03.23, p195) Lowenthal - Turner (2): +5-2=1 (ILN, 1850.03.23, p195) Lowenthal - Turner (combined): +11-4=3 (Albion, 1850.03.09, p119)

D.J.-The results of the matches in question was as follows:-Lowenthal 11. Turner 4. Drawn 3, and in the other case, Turner 6, Thompson 2, Drawn 0. (Albion, 1850.03.09, p119)

Mr. Turner struck me as a player of great natural talent and strong imagination, but somewhat too liable to be carried away by a brilliant combination or a dashing coup. In Mr. Turner I found a generous friend. He kindly invited me to accompany him to his residence near Lexington (Kentucky); my old thought of turning farmer reviving, I accepted the invitation. We left on the 3d of March, 1850.

On the 12th of March, I commenced a third match with Mr. Turner, and at that sitting won every game. (Book of the First American Chess Congress, p392)

During my stay with Mr. Turner, Chess, of course, filled up the hours that gentleman could spare from his duties. The result of our play then was, that out of seven matches, some of the first five, others of the first three games, I won six and lost one by the odd game.
