I took the table from [2] and the games from [1]. Many of the games are incomplete, though. One of these was completed using [4]. The dates were kindly provided to me by Mr. Philip Jurgens, quoting [3]. There was a strange incident during the Steiner-Colle game which Colle lost. (You can find the details below in the .pgn-viewer.) After this irregular defeat, Colle — who had led the pack with 5/6 before it — immediately lost two more games and fell back to the middle.

Wanted

  • Many moves in some games.
