Wrapping-up Recent Posts

Several of the posts on this blog over the last two months...

• 2019-03-06: 1840s Staunton Matches
• 2019-03-13: 1846 Staunton - Harrwitz
• 2019-03-20: More on 1846 Staunton - Harrwitz
• 2019-04-24: 1860s Anderssen Matches

...have been to improve my record of the Pre-FIDE Events, specifically the early, unofficial events. These resulted in two new pages that are consistent with similar pages:-

• 1843-46 Howard Staunton Matches
• 1861-62 Adolf Anderssen Matches

While I was working on those, I left a few loose ends that required small corrections:-

• Redirecting obsolete pages to the new pages
• Deleting PGN files for the obsolete pages
• Updating the player indices
• Checking that nothing had been overlooked
  etc.

Before I tackled that, I considered consolidating the pages of three other related matches:-

• 1909 Lasker - Janowski Exhibition Matches • Paris, V, 1909 & Paris, X-XI, 1909
• 1910 Lasker - Janowski Match • Berlin, XI-XII, 1910

I finally decided against doing this because of a key difference: the first page covers exhibition matches, but the second is for a World Championship title match. Before I do any more work on the 'Pre-FIDE Events', I'll try to address another item on the list of Small Projects for 2019 (January 2019).
