La Bourdonnais – McDonnell chess matches
The La Bourdonnais – McDonnell chess matches were a series of chess matches in 1834 between Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais of France and Alexander McDonnell of Ireland. These matches confirmed La Bourdonnais as the leading chess player in the world. They are sometimes seen as having been unofficial World Chess Championship matches, before the title of World Chess Champion existed.〔William Winter wrote of the match, "Although not officially regarded as a world's championship match, the two players stood out above all their contemporaries, and the length of the struggle, as well as the general brilliance of the play, fully entitled the winner to rank as Chess Champion of the World." José Raúl Capablanca, ''World's Championship Matches, 1921 and 1927'', Dover Publications, 1977, p. 47. ISBN 0-486-23189-5.〕〔Philip W. Sergeant wrote that "Labourdonnais by his victory might fairly be entitled to call himself the leading player of the world". Philip W. Sergeant, ''A Century of British Chess'', p. 39, David McKay, 1934.〕
It was the first match of importance in the history of chess and is sometimes referred to today as the World Championship of 1834. The games were published widely, and were annotated and discussed by enthusiasts all over Europe. In the course of the mammoth encounter, both players introduced several innovations, a few of which are still seen today. It might even be said that the modern era of chess began with the McDonnell-La Bourdonnais match of 1834.
La Bourdonnais won the first, third, fourth and fifth matches; McDonnell won the second match, and the sixth was abandoned with McDonnell leading. The overall score was 45 wins to La Bourdonnais, 27 wins to McDonnell, and 13 draws.
==Background==
De La Bourdonnais was considered the world's leading player from 1821, when he surpassed his mentor Alexandre Deschapelles. In 1823 La Bourdonnais defeated William Lewis, Britain's leading player, in a match in London, and in the spring of 1825 he played and defeated the best players that England had to offer. Nine years later he returned to London when a challenge was issued on McDonnell's behalf.
