File Updated
Date Notes
Previously Uploaded as part of the Hastings collection some time ago.
1 November 2020 Uploaded as a separate page, with crosstables and full results, and 26 Challengers games.
4 November 2020 Ron de Haas kindly sent me two games he found in the club magazine from Chessclub Dordrecht in the Netherlands, from the Challengers tournament (1) Povah 1-0 Steiner; (2) Bachmann 0-1 Steiner. Many thanks, Ron. Whilst looking at Ron's games, I noticed his dates for these two games were one day earlier than I had expected. On re-checking sources I discovered that the Challengers didn't start on 29 December as one source had led me to believe but on 28 December, so Ron's dates for Challengers games were right and mine wrong. I have now corrected them all.
19 November 2020 Twelve more games from subsidiary sections added, kindly submitted by Brian Denman. One is from the Challengers (D.Cummings-C.Wessels), one played by a very young Stuart Conquest* in the Main D Section, plus ten games played by Geoff H James and John C Henshaw in the Christmas Special A section. Many thanks to Brian. * Later the same day: Stuart Conquest has supplied a correction to the score of his game vs Paul Kane. Thanks, Stu!
