Chess in 1834
by Bill Wall

In 1834, George Walker wrote a chess column for Bells Life. It continued until 1873.

In 1834, Jacquest Chamouillet (1783-1872) was in the committee of Paris in the London vs. Paris correspondence match, and he convinced the Paris team to adopt the defense advocated by Jacques Mouret, which became known as the French Defense.

In 1834, Jacques Mouret, former operator of the Turk, sold the secret to a magazine (Le Magasin Pittoresque). It was the first authentic revelation of the Turk. The article was called An attempt to analyze the automaton chess-player of M. Kempelen.

In 1834, the Westminster Club played a correspondence chess match with the Cafe de la Regence.

In June 1834, the first match of consequence, the La Bourdonnais-McDonnell match, was played. The first match was 25 games. Bourdonnais won (+16-5=4)

In October 1834, La Bourdonnais won overall in a series of 6 matches against McDonnell. He played 85 (some say 88) games (+46-26=13)

On December 1, 1834, The Turk was exhibited in Charleston, SC.

On December 8, 1834, Otto M. Tennison was born. The Tennison gambit (1.Nf3 d5 2.e4) is named after him. He served with the Union forces in the US Civil War as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Here are the 85 games (and over 3,500 moves) between the Frenchman Louis Charles Mahe de la Bourdonnais (1797-1840) and the Irishman Alexander McDonnell (1798-1835), played in London in 1834. There was no time limit, no seconds, and very little stakes. McDonnell sometimes took over an hour and a half to make a move. Bourdonnais won the match (actually 6 matches) with 45 wins, 13 draws, and 27 losses. The matches lasted over 4 months. Bourdonnais was considered the world's strongest player from 1821 to 1840. McDonnell was considered England's strongest player. All the games were recorded by William Greenwood Walker, the aged Secretary of the Westminster Chess Club who died right after the match. He was a fan of McDonnell and sat by him throughout the match.

The match began in June, 1834 and continued throughout the summer. A game a day was played every day except Sunday. A game began at noon at the Westminster Chess Club (founded in 1831 by George Walker). If the game was still in progress by 6 pm, they adjourned the game and finished it the next day. The matches ended in October, 1834.

Alexander McDonnell was born in Belfast on May 22, 1798. He was a bachelor who held the post of Secretary of the West India Committee of Merchants. In the 1830s he was the best player in England. In the 1820s he took chess lessons from William Lewis. He developed a kidney ailment. He died September 14, 1835 of Bright's disease in London at the age of 37. He was buried at Kensal Green All Souls' cemetery in London.

Bourdonnais was born on the French Island La Reunion in 1797. He died on December 13, 1840 in London. He learned chess in 1814 and took lessons from Deschapelles. He later became the best chess player in France. He came from a noble family and heir to an old estate. He lost his fortune in a building speculation and turned to chess to earn his living. He was Secretary of the Paris Chess Club and chess professional at the Cafe de la Regence. In November, 1840 he was diagnosed with dropsy and had a scrotal hernia. He died at the age of 43 and was buried at Kensal Green All Souls' cemetery, next to McDonnell.

In match one, 25 games were played. Bourdonnais won 16, drew 4, and lost 5, with a score of 18-7.

In match two, 9 games were played. McDonnell won 5 and lost 4, with a score of 5-4. There were no draws.

In match 3, 12 games were played. Bourdonnais won 6, drew 1, and lost 5, with a score of 6.5-5.5.

In match 4, 18 games were played. Bourdonnais won 8, drew 7, and lost 3, with a score of 11.5-6.5.

In match 5, 12 games were played. Bourdonnais won 7, drew 1, and lost 4, with a score of 7.5-4.5.

In match 6, 9 games were played. McDonnell won 5 and lost 4, with a score of 5-4. There were no draws.
