Incomplete record·games missing

Incomplete record. This archive holds 56 games of this event; the others are missing, and the number played is not established. Four ordinary scored games are absent: Bier–Schallopp R1, Wemmers–W.Paulsen R1, Schallopp–Schottländer R4 and Schottländer–Bier R9. Seven withdrawal awards are separately recorded. One award, L.Paulsen–Minckwitz R7, has an80ply native score; whether it was begun then awarded remains unresolved, so no exact physical total is asserted.
