 Maelzel's first exhibition-season in Philadelphia extended from 26 December 1826, to 20 March 1827.The Hall was open twice a day—at noon and in the evening—and full games as well as end-games were played, but whether indifferently at either hour I do not know.The Automaton lost one end-game—the famous Three Pawn position—to Mr. Daniel Smith; and one full game to a lady, Mrs. Fisher.
