Aug-04-25 5th CCA Congress, Birmingham (1874)    chesshistoryinterest: <* Now taking your premise of preserving as much of the <CPC> table as possible, it would appear that Murray and Halford would only have two forfeits each: the double-forfeit to each other, Murray to Archdall (recorded as such by the <CPC>), and Halford ...      Aug-03-25 Biographer Bistro    chesshistoryinterest: <jnpope: 10th CCA Congress, Boston (1880) Gaige, and hence the <HLB>, only state Wayte won the playoff without mentioning who gained the 2nd place prize, or the results of the playoff.> Gaige did give these in his 1992 revision. Which shows how far ahead of ...      Aug-01-25 British Chess Club Handicap (1887)   chesshistoryinterest: I found one error - Hoffer instead of Gunsberg (on their rows) is given a win by default against Mackeson. The rest looks good.      Jan-17-24 Ostend (1906)   chesshistoryinterest: A bit more stuff (I found my earlier notes): (5) Under the table for Stage 1, Group 1, it says "There was a real fight for the last slot.

I take your point that the earliest source has precedence. My understanding is that Keres always kept a copy of his scoresheets.
