Jun-02-15    zanzibar: This game was somehow missed... Emms vs D King, 2003 A 4-player RR2 should have 12 games, not 11. Jun-02-15    zanzibar: Somebody needs to check me, I there's something partially wrong with what I said above. That <Emms--King> game is part of the tournament. But the last statement is right, and there still should be another game between the pair (i.e. <King--Emms>), from R5. Jun-03-15    Retireborn: <z> Britbase has a downloadable pgn for this tournament here:- http://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/bri... King-Emms (r5) has a note explaining it was postponed from 30 Aug to 1st September ie it was actually played after r6. Jun-03-15    zanzibar: And more thanks <rb>. That's a good piece of info, and might help explain why <CG> missed the game initially!
