Played at the White Swan Hotel, Halifax,

on the evening Thursday, 23/11/1882,

over 10 boards, 2 games per board, time permitting.

 

The Halifax player named at board 8 did not turn up, and Leeds did not choose to claim a win by default.  This was scored as 0-0 rather than as a win by default for Leeds.

 

As close of play, at 10.15, the second Hussey-Common game was unfinished, and was adjudicated as a win to Halifax.
