<Introduction>
The earliest report of this match, given by Dufresne in [[Neue Berliner Schachzeitung]] states that during Anderssen's visit to Berlin he played 16 match and 24 casual games with Zukertort:
"Die Spiele Anderssens mit Zukertort waren zahlreich, nämlich 16 Wett- und 24 leichtere Partieen; von ersteren gewann Anderssen 11, verlor 4 und machte 1 unentschieden, von letzteren gewann er 10, verlor 11 und machte 3 unentschieden." [(1)]
However, these match results would be modified years later to correspond with the known game results:
"1868 (April). Wettkampf zu Berlin zwischen Anderssen und Dr. Johannes Herrmann Zukertort (geb. 7 September 1842 zu Riga, gest. als Arzt zu London am 21. Juni 1888). Anderssen siegt mit 8 : 3 bei 1 Remise." [(2)] In 1911 Koch would note this descrepency:
"Als bedeutendstes Ereignis des Jahres 1868 wird ein Wettkampf Anderssen-Zukertort genannt mit 8 Siegen Anderssens gegen 3 Zukertorts und 1 Remise. In der [[Neuen Berliner Schachzeitung]] lesen wir aber, daß 16 Partien gespielt worden sind, davon 11 für Anderssen, 4 für Zukertort günstig und 1 Remise." [(3)] However, the modified results would become engrained in chess lore by Gottschall in his book on Anderssen:
"Der sogenannte Wettkampf Anderssen-Zukertort, der mit einem Siege des Altmeisters bei 8 zu 3 Gewinnpartien und 1 Remispartie endete, gelangte im Jahre 1868 im April zum Austrag.—Als ernster Match ist indes dieses Renkontre nicht aufzufassen, wie schon daraus hervorgeht, daß Anderssen zu gleicher Zeit noch mit einer Anzahl anderer Schachfreunde, sogar auch noch mit Zukertort selbst, freie Partien wechselte. Die Partien des Wettkampfes sind in so leichtem Stil gehalten, daß einige von ihnen, die 4. und 9., von denen Anderssen die erste remis machte, die letztere dagegen gewann, sich nicht als druckfähig erwiesen und im Meer der Vergessenheit spurlos versunken sind. Zur Charakteristik der Qualität der Partien sei noch bemerkt, daß die letzten drei Partien an einem Tage gespielt wurden." [(4)] <Missing Games>
Games 4, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are missing. Of these only the fourth and ninth game results were specifically mentioned:
"Die vierte Partie, ein Evans-Gambit, beiderseits ziemlich incorrect gespielt, wurde remis." (5)
"Die neunte, Hampe's Eröffnung, wurde von A. Anderssen gewonnen." (6)
If this were a match of 11 games-up then game 16 should be a win for Anderssen, leaving the results of games 13, 14, and 15 unknown, although they should result in two wins for Anderssen and one win for Zukertort for the wins to equal 11 and 4 respectively. <Sources>

<Introduction>
The championship tourney now in daily progress at the rooms of the Brooklyn Chess Club, over the Post Office, is attracting considerable attention among the members of the club, and the contests are watched with interest afternoons and evenings. Up to March 10 twenty-one games had been won and lost and six had been drawn. [(1)] <Synopsis>
The Brooklyn chess club's championship tourney has been decreased in interest somewhat by the retirement of Mr. Densmore, who won all of his games in the first round, but who went to Europe after losing a game to Mr. Elwell in the second round. Mr. Orr, too, has retired from the tourney since the first round. [(2)] <Missing Results>
Broughton vs Thompson, Broughton vs Murray, and Thompson vs Murray were the outstanding games as of the last report on this event. <Sources>

Edward Loesser, a diamond merchant (born 1839.02.09 Germany; died 1922.10.11 New York). His son, Ernest Loesser, a diamond cutter (born 1873.08.12 New York; died 1932 Montana). An "E. Loeser" is listed as a participant in Steinitz's simultaneous performance given on 1887.10.20 where Loeser essayed an Evans and lost, so in all probability the chess player was the father and not the son. <Sources>

<Introduction>
The annual championship tournament of the club will be under way before long, and a keen competition for the title now held by Fox is assured. Among those who will play are A. W. Fox, C. S. Howell, C. Curt, A. J. Souweine, G. J. Schwietzer, C. A. Lawrence, H. M. Barrett, E. W. Libaire, H. Zirn, W. Southwick and A. E. Swaffield. [(1)]
The championship tournament was started with thirteen entries on Friday, the field being the strongest that has ompeted for the honor in some years. The competitors are A. W. Fox, the present champion; C. S. Howell, A. J. Souweine, H. Zirn, C. Curt, G. J. Schweitzer, H. M. Barrett, C. A. Lawrence, E. W. Libaire, J. D. Elwell, A. E. Swaffield, W. Southwick and H. L. Dickerson. [(2)]
Play in the championship will begin tonight. C. H. Howell, playing out of the schedule during the past week, defeated W. Southwick in this contest, after a hard battle, which lasted forty moves. [(3)]
Three players are striving mightily to secure the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club in the pending tournament for that honor. The leading scores are C. S. Howell, 7 to 1; G. J. Schwietzer, 5½ to ½; A. W. Fox (champion) 5 to 1. [(4)]
C. S. Howell bids fair to secure the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club in the annual tournament now pending. G. J. Schwietzer, his nearest opponent, has withdraw on account of sickness, while champion A. W. Fox has lost games to A. J. Souweine and E. W. Libaire and drawn with W. Southwick in a game that lasted 111 moves. [(5)]
C. S. Howell has succeeded in attaining his ambition of winning first prize in the annual championship tournament of the Brooklyn Chess Club, among his defeated rivals for the honor of club champion being ex-champion A. W. Fox, one of the competitors at Cambridge Springs. The new champion emerged from the ordeal without the loss of a game and fully earned his title in every sense of the word. [(6)] Notice has been served on the players in the championship tournament at the Brooklyn Chess Club, that they must finish their schedules by April 22. This step has been taken because in the opinion of the managers of the contest it has been dragging along at too slow a pace. [(7)] C. S. Howell, of the American cable match team, has won the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club, his final score in the tournament being 10½ wins to 1½ defeats. A. W. Fox was second with a score of 8½ to 3½. Third place still remains open, inasmuch as several players have yet to finish their schedules. [(8)] All the games in the annual championship tournament of the Brooklyn Chess Club, with the exception of one, have been played to a conclusion. The exception is the one between Champion Howell and Harry Zirn, which the former claimed by default. Zirn protested, however, as he asserted that no date had been properly scheduled. As Howell has left town for vacation, it is not likely that it will be played. Howell's position, of course, was assured without it. [(9)]
<Note>
Some sources score the Howell vs. Zirn game as unplayed whereas other sources indicate Howell finished with a score of 10½ which seems to indicate his win by default over Zirn was upheld. <Games>

Sociability.—The Brooklyn Institute, which is the centre of sociability in this city, has established a room for conversation, where the subscribers (which now amount to near four hundred,) will find a large room well lighted and warmed every evening. The chess-club numbers enough to keep three or four tables occupied. [[Brooklyn Evening Star]], 1843.11.22, p2

The Brooklyn Chess Club.—The second annual reunion of this flourishing society, took place last Thursday evening, when the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year:—Walter K. Paye, President; Robert M. Jenkins, Secretary. The President, in the course of a few remarks, alluded to the attention bestowed upon chess within a few years past throughout Europe. He also commented upon the advantages conferred upon members in the cultivation of a taste for this refined recreation; in view of which he was exceedingly happy to refer to the prosperous condition of the club; and if the past was a guarantee for the future, he felt assured that the society would soon take its place as one of the institutions of our city.
A committee was appointed to select a suitable room for the accommodation of the club, which will be furnished in the neatest manner and provided with the proper requisites. We understand that it is their intention to have it open to members, upon one evening in every week, for contests.

A fitting opportunity presents itself, on the commencement of our chess column, to give a short sketch of the introduction and increase of public playing in our city. In the 8d of October, 1855, through the instrumentality of the writer a meeting of chess amateurs was held at Montague Hall for the purpose of establishing a Chess Club. The result of that meeting was the organization of the Brooklyn Chess Club which has continued in successful operation until the present time and is now without any exception, the largest Chess Club in the United States. We had the honor to be elected the first President but declined the office, preferring that of Secretary, which position we have held uninterruptedly to the present time. Thomas Nichols, Esq., of Brown, Brothers & Co., was elected President, Thomas Hamilton, Esq., now of St. Louis, was chosen Vice-President, in which offices these gentlemen served through the first year. The meetings of the Club were held at Montague Hall. The principal players were, besides the officers, Messrs. Samuel Stewart, Jas. Eschweye, J. M. Burnett, James Kirkpatrick and Charles W. Schuffner. On the 1st of September, 1856, the place of meeting of the Club was changed to the house of the Secretary, No. 61 Joralemon street, where the Club continued to meet until the following Fall.
Daniel S. Roberts, Esq., one of the finest chess players in the country, now in San Francisco, was proclaimed President by unanimous accord, and held such position until his departure for the Pacific. Among the acquisitions of members of the Club during the season were Mess. Henry R. Worthington, Wm. Kind, Hubert Knott, Wm. Horner, Frederick Scmidt (sic), Jacob Philip, D. S. Hines and some others. In the fall of 1857 the place of meeting of the Club was again changed to the rooms of Mr. Grautegein, No. 130 Atlantic street. During this season quite a number of names was added to the list of members—among others Mess. Hicks, Greau, Rerault, Pain, Talk, Wilhelmi, McArthur, Hinde, Cowing, Hull, Gillet, Richardson and Thompson.
On the 16th of October, 1858, the Club removed to its present place of meeting, on the corner of Court and Remsen streets, where it has ample accommodations, and now numbers [[one hundred and fifteen members]]. Fredrick Perrin, Esq., was unanimously elected President; Thos. Frere, Secretary, and Charles W. Schuffner, Treasurer. On the present list of members are the names of many players of the first class, among whom are Messrs. Perrin, Marache, Horner, Weekes, Seebach, Loyd, Philip, Galop, Kind, Hawes, Baly, Gardner, Richardson, Clark, Chadwick, Myers and others too numerous to mention. Thus has Chess Playing increased in Brooklyn.
The annual dues to the Brooklyn Chess Club, as now organized at but $2. All interested in the game are invited to enroll their names as members.
[[Brooklyn Daily Eagle]], 1859.03.11, p2
——————————————————————————————————————————
At a recent meeting of the Brooklyn Chess Club, the following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year:—Mr. Frederick Perrin, President; Mr. Bernard, Vice-President; Mr. Alfred Thompson, Treasurer, and Mr. William Horner, Secretary. The Club has removed to its new quarters, No. 14 Court street, room No. 27. The room will be open on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evening of each week.
[[Brooklyn Evening Star]], 1861.10.07, p3
——————————————————————————————————————————
The regular annual meeting of this Club was held on Saturday evening, at their Club-rooms in Court street, and the following officers were duly elected for the ensuing year: President, F. Perrin; Vice-President, E. L. Matthews; Secretary, Capt. Raymond; Treasurer, G. Baxter; Tournament Committee, Messrs. Thompson and Raymond.
