 When the result is known it is shown preceding the opponents name and placed in parentheses for double round tournaments. When the opponents piece colour is known it is shown after their name as (W) for White and (B) for Black.

There are 69 games to be found, assuming they are not lost forever. The most likely sources will be old chess magazines, newspapers and private collections.

If you find one (or more) of these missing games or know where one (or more) can be found then please e-mail me at: webmaster@phileo.demon.co.uk.
