Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-04-12  talisman: happy birthday Ronald McDonald!
Jul-04-18  Nosnibor: Another example of a player who could not be playing the last three games in this database unless be arose from the dead!
Jul-04-18  Nosnibor: C G Editor I also pointed out a few days ago a similar problem with W C Palmer where the initials were the same but the player was a different player.
Dec-01-23  Alan McGowan: The three games from 1967 and 1969 should be removed. They cannot be attributed to Dr Macdonald, who died 1942.
