After finding some significant score errors, which I have reported here individually, I decided I would have to review all 45 games I had on file and compare with the January 1966 issue of CHESS which is the main primary source for this event, and found quite a few more score differences - too many to report individually. Perhaps someone here could take a look through the BritBase file and apply amendments. Apr-07-24    Stonehenge: Thanks, I'll have a look.
