Date	Notes
16 January 2016	Many thanks to Andy Ansel for providing corrections to the following games: Whiteley-J.Littlewood, Bellin-Haygarth, J.Littlewood-Bonner, Wade-Holmes, Green-Whiteley and Hempson-Clarke.
28 April 2016	Added game Howley-Quinn (U18)
2 May 2018	Game Staples-Yeo (Rd 2, U18) added.
21 April 2019	15 more games added from the subsidiary sections: these comprise 11 games played by PC Griffiths - these were already on BritBase but only on PC Griffiths' player file; Cornforth-Fagg (U18); Eales-Hutchinson (U21); Rudge-Eales (U21); Corlett-Woodcock (First Class).
29 September 2020	Ten more games from the U21 added, all played by Mike Donnelly and found at his website. I've also revamped the presentation of crosstables (rather than using faded scans from the yearbook). I've also made some corrections: there were two games in the Major Open purportedly played by Graham Chesters but I now see the programme records the Major Open entrant as his brother Geoffrey Chesters. Also, there were three games in the Major Open attributed to Howard J Price and in fact they were played by Michael R Price (Liverpool).
11 October 2020	11 more games, played by Geoff H James in the Major Open, submitted by Brian Denman. Many thanks to both Geoff and Brian.
21 October 2020	Fuller-J.Littlewood (Round 9): the game ends at move 46 Nc3 according to the bulletin but John Littlewood's own record shows six more moves were played.
22 October 2020	Sean Coffey kindly supplied forenames of most of the Irish junior competitors, and also some pairings for the British Under-16 Championship. Thanks, Sean.
27 April 2021	The game LeMoir-Knee (Rd 8, British U21) contributed by Andy Ansel, for which many thanks.
18 December 2022	Added six games: from the Major Open - (1) J.Farrand 1-0 D.Barnett; (2) P.Kendall ½-½ A.Cullinane; (3) I.Eustis 0-1 F.Jaeck - from other sections: (4) J.Kirk-O'Grady 1-0 S.Scott (U21); (5) R.Musson 1-0 A.Morley (U16); (6) R.Tilley 1-0 J.Dixon (Five-Day 2nd Week). Many thanks to Gerard Killoran who submitted the games via the English Chess Forum.
8 February 2025	Added seven games played by David LeMoir in the U21 Championship. Many thanks to David LeMoir for submitting the games.
