45 Premier games plus 11 from subsidiary events. Also, crosstables and results. |
| 5 January 2023 |
Correction to Korchnoi-Darga (rd 8): the final move was 38 Ra5, not 38 Rd5+. My thanks to Andy Ansel for alerting me to this. |
| 5 January 2023 |
Olafsson-Taimanov (rd 1) now has an alternative finish - difficult to know which is correct. I've found two more scores from the Premier Reserves Major: (1) D.Horseman 1-0 D.Horne (rd 1); (2) M.Vukcevich 0-1 D.Horne (rd 2). Ulrich Tamm has found two more Premier Reserves A games: (3) R.Cherubim 1-0 C.Damant (rd 5); (4) W.Turner 0-1 E.N.Mulcahy (rd 9). Sean Coffey has contributed three Jim Walsh games from Premier Reserves B: (5) H.Jühe ½-½ J.Walsh (rd 1); (6) J.Walsh 1-0 D.Jones (rd 2); (7) E.Tranmer 0-1 J.Walsh (rd 3). The two games from Second Class A.M. in the original batch were contributed by Brian Denman. Very much a team effort: my thanks to Brian, Andy, Ulrich and Sean. |
