Howard Staunton - Match Results

Match Results

Sources:

Notes:

  1. In some cases it is known who won but not by what score.
  2. 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.
  3. "P + 1" means "Pawn and move", "P + 2" means "Pawn and two moves".
  4. In the second column of scores, "+" shows games Staunton won, "–" shows his losses, "=" shows draws.

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or results:

    “Seducing one’s neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor’s opinion—who can match women in this clever ploy?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
