| 27 February 2020 | First uploaded. The games were sent to me by Alan McGowan, who entered them from the bulletin. One score is missing (Lumsden-Hunter, from the last round) and another couldn't be entered completely because of errors in the bulletin (Hunter-Lancaster, Rd 2). If anyone can help with either of those scores, I would be grateful. Many thanks to Alan for providing this file for BritBase. |
| 11 October 2021 | I'm grateful to Jim Anderson who responded to my request (see above) and sent me the relevant game scores from the bulletin. I have entered the moves of the missing game Lumsden-Hunter (rd 6) though the last few moves required some interpretation and I'm not 100% sure of my reconstruction. I have also amended Hunter-Lancaster (rd 2) which now makes sense after reinterpreting an ambiguous move (20...Rxb2 rather than 20...Rxf4). My thanks to Jim Anderson. |
