File updated

Date	Notes
30 July 2021	First upload to BritBase though most of the games have been available elsewhere for some time. 225 games from the Championship and 1 from the Major Open.
31 July 2021	Correction applied to the score of Motwani 1-0 Piper (rd 1). My thanks to Andy Ansel.
31 July 2021	A further 130 games added: 28 from the Major Open, submitted by Brian Denman, and 102 from junior sections, submitted by Andy Ansel. My thanks to Brian and Andy.
1 August 2021	Despite describing this as "one of my worst ever results," Roger de Coverly has nobly submitted all 11 of his games from the British Championship. This includes a significant correction for his first round game vs Russell Dive which was already on file but previously short on moves and given with the wrong result. Many thanks, Roger. That brings the number of games in the Championship to 235, plus 29 from the Major Open and 102 from junior sections = 366 in total.
25 February 2023	Added one game: R.Millward 0-1 R.Dive (Championship, rd 8).
13 October 2026	Added a further five games and part-games from other sections, and also applied various corrections and additions to names, added national ratings, etc.
