[2] gives two games played by O’Kelly in Soultanbeieff in what it calls a friendly encounter. As Soultanbeieff mentions, in his chess autobiography [2], a small match with O’Kelly played around this time ending with two draws, I presume that is where these games come from.

I don’t know where the games were played, but Brussels seems like a reasonable bet. Possibly, one game was played in Brussels and one in Liège. Possibly, it was in yet another place.

Wanted

• Where were the games played?
• The exact dates of the games.
