Added 27 games from 365Chess and one game from ChessBase = 32 games. Gillam https://www.chessdirect.co.uk/acata... has 32/45 games too, probably the same games as here. Any more? Bogoljubov struggled hard with the British players here. May-06-22    MissScarlett: <Added 27 games from 365Chess and one game from ChessBase> One extra game from <CB> , you mean? I believe many Gillam books and much of Britbase has been subsumed into <CB>. May-06-22    Tabanus: Yes one in CB not found (or overlooked) in 365Chess.
