Jul-02-24 Biographer Bistro    chesshistoryinterest: <jnpope - Brooklyn CC Championship 1892> That's good. I just thought to check what Rod Edwards of Edo had. What he has is somewhat different: (1) He claims only second cycle draws had to be replayed (which seems rather strange). (2) You have several draws he ...      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. Burn led Duras by a half-point going into the last round." "Burn" should read "Balla". (6) Table for Stage 1, Group 3: The 6 ...      Jan-14-24 Arvids Taube   chesshistoryinterest: <Telemus> "I am still looking for a won game (of Taube's)". Arvids Taube (kibitz #9) I have found one!: Latvia students - Estonia students, Round 2, 29 March 1926, Riga - Taube-Kerge, 1-0, 30, - in 'Students', 3 November 1926, page 6 ...      Dec-08-23 London Chess Classic (2023)    chesshistoryinterest: <goodevans> Yes, you are correct.

I take your point that the earliest source has precedence. My understanding is that Keres always kept a copy of his scoresheets. Keres played thousands of games, so even if the 'Paul Keres - Photographs and Games' people      Jul-01-22 Berthold Englisch   chesshistoryinterest: <Chessist> A really great find, much thanks to you for posting this. Did "Schach" magazine give what their source was?      Aug-09-21 Istvan Csom    chesshistoryinterest: <jessicafischerqueen> Thanks, I didn't actually know that. I'm not quite sure what website they imported it from, but all the likely possibilities that I checked had crosstables that seemed fine. So maybe Rusbase has different software/programming and it occurs on      Jul-19-21 Mechislovas Birmanas    chesshistoryinterest: <hemy> (continuing from my previous post) I offer a few final corrections/suggestions to the 2nd edition of "Jews in Lithuanian chess history". Although you have abandoned that project, you could be copying some of the material over to your new project, so perhaps      Aug-02-20 Vladimir Petrov     Jul-26-20 Martin Villemson    Jul-15-20 W Hasenfuss vs M Luckis, 1931     Jul-04-20 Ignas Zalys     Jun-21-20 Paul List     Jun-21-20 Paul Vaitonis    Jun-19-20 Elias Baikovicius     Jun-11-20 Alan Johnston    May-03-20 Emilis Melngailis     Apr-29-20 Nechemia Kasimov     Apr-29-20 P Tautvaisas vs K Skema, 1946    Apr-10-20 Vienna Chess Society Winter (1895/96)     Apr-05-20 Mar del Plata (1941)     Feb-15-20 Vytautas Skibiniauskas    Feb-05-20 Vladas Mikenas     Jan-22-20 N Kasimov vs Aleksander Kliuch, 1971    Jan-05-20 Annie K. chessforum     Jun-15-19 Leonids Dreibergs     Dec-22-18 Salomon Flohr     Nov-19-18 Tenis Melngailis     Sep-29-18 Arvids Kalnins
