Notes:
- In some cases it is known who won but not by what score.
- Books and articles about most players often omit games at odds. But Staunton gave odds, usually successfully, in his matches against most UK-based players and most of his matches were played this way.
- "P + 1" means "Pawn and move", "P + 2" means "Pawn and two moves".
- In the second column of scores, "+" shows games Staunton won, "–" shows his losses, "=" shows draws.

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or results:
“A strong tiger is no match for a pack of wolves.”
—Chinese proverb.
“It amazes me when I hear any person prefer blindness to deafness. Such a person must have a terrible dread of being alone. Blindness makes one totally dependent on others, and deprives us of every satisfaction that results from light.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
