The first unofficial national tournament was played in 1880, in the Café de la Régence, where further edition were held in 1881 and 1883.

Edouard, Vachier-Lagrave, Bacrot and Bauer were tied on a score of 7/10 going into the final round. However then there was the shock news of the death of Christian Bauer's 4 month old child. The players decided to cancel the 11th and final round. Edouard, Vachier-Lagrave and Bacrot were to play off for the title, but on further reflection it was decided that all 4 players should share the title. [1]
