Jan-25-21    MissScarlett: 65 out of 66; the 62 is from the second group. McGowan may have been the first to uncover Bogo-Richter. Jan-25-21    MissScarlett: The tournament book referred to is one listed by Skinner & Verhoeven's book on Alekhine: <Brinckmann, A. Europameisterschaft Munchen 1942. Europa-Schach-Rundschau, Band I. Den Haag/Leipzig: Blomer, 1943.> Either Gillam didn't have access or it didn't include all the games.
