Todo: 1860-1869

Some tourneys from this period have already been published, but are not completely known and may benefit from additional information or research:

• Norddeutsche Schachbund, 1868 (1st Congress, Hamburg). Basic details and winning problem is known, but not the judges or the 2 and 3 pr. winners.

• Schachzeitung, 1866-67. It is not known if Section D (endgame studies) was concluded.

• Westdeutsche Schachbund, 1866. Announced, but probably never begun or completed.

Other tourneys range from the almost entirely unknown to the reasonably well known, requiring only some additional work to be published:

• Belfast Weekly Whig, 1863. Not known. (This is probably the weekly edition of Northern Whig, publ. Saturdays. See notice in The Northern Whig on 1862-03-22, that the Weekly N. W. has set apart a column for chess. The contents of the column is frequently summarized in Northern Whig: on February 6, 1863, a notice on p. [2] says that tomorrow’s issue of Weekly Northern Whig will contain problem tourney-related information.)

• Brooklyn Standard, 1861. Only requirements known so far. (Brooklyn Standard seems to have been a weekly paper, while Brooklyn Daily Standard was a daily.)

• Le Palamède Française, 1865. Another messy tourney in that several judges stated they had not been involved in the published report.

• Wiener Schachgesellschaft, 1863? Winner is known (H. Lehner), but fairly little else.

• Wilke’s Spirt of the Times, 1868? Some requirements are known, but it is not clear if they only were suggestions, or of they were actually used for a tournament.

• La Vogue Parisienne. Not known. (mentioned in NBSz v. 6, 1869, p. 62. There seems to have been a publication of that name published in Paris from 1866 to 1870.)
