 | | MissScarlett: <Lasker scored +16=1-0 with 8 games unfinished.> If this loss is included, it becomes a 26-board simul. Whyld should do his sums better. |
|
| Feb-20-18 | | TheFocus: Is it possible that this game was played in the simul of the 25th, where Lasker had two losses? Whyld cites this game as from <Bristol Mercury>, Dec. 10, 1898. |

| | MissScarlett: Lasker's two losses on the Friday were to Gibberd and Byrnes as set out in a report in the <Western Daily Press> on the 26th. The same paper on the Monday, p.7, reported on the Saturday simul: <There were 23 boards in use at the start, two others began later, and two, Messrs Hutchins and Leonard, who had played on the previous evening, started a game in consultation, so that in all 26 games were played.> It notes there were actually 12 unfinished games, but some generously resigned theirs. All 26 games, with opponents and results, are listed, concluding: <Total - 16 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw and 8 unfinished.> |

 | | mifralu: So this report can't be right ?
<"Cheltenham Examiner, 30 November 1898, p. 6"> On Friday evening Mr. Lasker encountered twenty-four Bristol district players at the Imperial Hotel, Clifton. He won sixteen games, drew two, and lost two; four games, commenced late, were "unfinished."
< - On Saturday, at the same place, he played versus twenty-six other Bristol and Bath players, beating nine of them, drawing with none, and losing to one only; Mr. Moore, of Bath. The sixteen other games were left unfinished, the room having to be vacated at 11 o'clock. The management should have obtained an hour's extension."> |
