Date Notes
23 December 2021 First upload of 35 games. In compiling the games I have made use of the JM Aitken, PC Griffiths, Paul Littlewood and WH Pratten game collections which are already on BritBase though in the latter two cases they are not complete. I have also added games played by Richard James in Challengers A, from a series of five articles he contributed to the ChessImprover website in 2015. Links to those articles (which have his detailed annotations and stories from the tournament): 12345.
8 February 2022 I am grateful to Jane Eichmann (née Anson) for supplying the crosstable for the Major D section.
2 December 2023 Added the game R.Gamble 0-1 K.Norman, Premier rd 6. Many thanks to Ken Norman.
