	Howard Staunton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Staunton lost the match, 3.5-2.5, but later arrangements where made for a second match, to be held in Paris.
		Still, Staunton had some fight left in him, as later that year he took revenge on Williams by beating him, six wins to four with one draw, as well as crushing Karl Jaenisch in a match, seven wins to two, with one draw.
		Unfortunately, Staunton's ego would not allow him to let go of his desire to be in the top ranks of chess mastery, but privately he must have sensed that the standard of play of the top masters was rapidly improving, and his was not.
