Date Notes
(some years ago) Uploaded all 308 games as a zipped file in 1997, having keyed them in.
17 September 2020 The same 308 games, now with dates and ratings, game viewer, crosstables and full results of other sections.
13 November 2020 More forenames added (thanks to Paul Georghiou) plus some cosmetic amendments. Paul also pointed out an error in one game score - Richardson-Johansen (rd 4) - Black played 15...Nd4 (not 15...Nb4).
19 August 2021 Two games from the 1982 Major Open added. Andy Ansel found them in Andrew Smith's new book Off the Board Chess. Thanks, Andy.
