Polish–Russian War
Born in Poland, Zytogorski was a political refugee after the collapse of the Polish–Russian War in 1830–31 (November Uprising). He emigrated to England. Zytogorski won a match against Franciscus Janssens (6:4) in 1854, took second behind Ernst Falkbeer and ahead of Brien in 1855 ("Triangular"), and lost to Valentine Green (7:8) in 1856 (Zytogorski gave odds of pawn and move).
