  MissScarlett: Anyone know a source for this game? Blackburne played an 8-board blindfold simul in Manchester on November 4th 1876, but <Fish> is not amongst the list of opponents.
Aug-22-21  Nosnibor: It could have been played at a blindfold simul at Burton on Trent on October 6th 1876 which was 3 days after his second marriage. At that event he scored 7 wins and 1 draw.

  MissScarlett: What's the source of your source? <L & W> is one of the more important chess columns that isn't available online.
Aug-22-21  Z4all: <[L&W] isn't available online>

Not all of it.

  MissScarlett: Not the 19th century incarnation....
Aug-22-21  Z4all: Damn greedy British, should follow the stellar example of the Dutch (or even the Austrians).

  MissScarlett: Hope springs eternal. The <Field>, containing the second most important British chess column after the <ILN>, came online just 2-3 years ago (albeit only as far as 1911), completely out of the blue. The <British Newspaper Archive> actually has a facility where users have, I think, 5 votes to suggest new titles for digitisation, but I doubt chess players form a big enough pressure group.
