Steinitz–Martinez Match 1882

Wilhelm Steinitz won all seven games of his first 1882 match with Dion M. Martinez in Philadelphia. The exact event record is a 7–0 sweep with no draws.

◇The first Philadelphia match

The match was played in Philadelphia in November 1882. It is the first of two separately recorded Steinitz–Martinez contests that year, and its seven games all went to Steinitz.

Edo's notes make clear that this was the Philadelphia player Dion M. Martinez, not Aristide Martinez of New York.

◇A perfect seven

All seven games survive: Steinitz won every one, 7–0.

Their later second match has its own page.
