Feb-17-06    werty: Anthony Miles is shown as the highest ranked particapant.The "Players Profile" states he died in 2001! Feb-17-06    tamar: This would be Dougherty Miles. Feb-17-06    Benzol: Glad this finally up. Thanks guys! And yes, it's not Tony Miles. Feb-17-06    Benzol: Are there games by the 39 other players? Feb-19-06    Benzol: <chessgames.com> There are in some cases double-ups and triple-ups of the names of some players. Here's a link to the list of entries for the tournament http://badbishop.com/queenstownches... Feb-19-06    Chnebelgrind: I miss some of the crucial games as Bjelobrk - Zhao, Zong Yuan, Rd 7 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. f3 d5 5. a3 Be7 6. e4 dxe4 7. fxe4 e5 8. d5 Bc5 9. Nf3 Ng4 10.

Feb-24-06    Richard Taylor: They are allowed to put any games up - but Bjelobrk's game was brilliant. I cant see Chandlers games. Feb-24-06    Benzol: <Richard> There are only three of Chandler's games listed. Mike Steadman on the other hand has eight games listed. It's a bit strange. Feb-24-06    cuendillar: In many large open tournaments, only the top boards are recorded. In XXXV Rilton Cup (2006) for example, only the top 20 boards are registered. This was done by a carbon paper below the scoresheet, which the arbiter then gathered.
