Date Notes
26 June 2023 First upload, with 15 game scores and a complete crosstable (from the 1986/87 BCF Yearbook, with various amendments). Some of these games were taken from Mega where they appear as "1986 London op" - three other games with this identifier proved to be from the 1986 Lloyds Bank Masters while others must have been played in another (as yet unidentified) competition. Was there a bulletin with more games? (Yes - see below, item dated 2 July 2023)
27 June 2023 Added the game S.Knott 0-1 D.Houston (rd 3). Many thanks to Sean Coffey for sending the game.
28 June 2023 Added the game E.Martinovsky 0-1 H.Barber (rd 8). Many thanks to Paul Summers for sending the game.
29 June 2023 Five more games added, all played by David A Houston. Many thanks to David McAlister for submitting them. Running total of games now 22.
2 July 2023 A further seven games added, all played by Stuart Conquest and submitted by Brian Denman, for which many thanks. Brian tells me these came from the tournament bulletin, which answers the question posted above (26 June). I should very much like to track it down.
