I've just had a look at this file in ChessBase. I think there may be a mistake in the players' names in one game:

1. Chesters, G - has 10 games in total, 2 in round 9, and has played Jones, B twice (round 1 and round 9)
2. Carleton, J - only has 8 games in total, no round 9 game

Perhaps the round 9 game shown as Jones-Chesters was actually Jones-Carleton?

Ian is absolutely right and thanks to him for spotting another senior moment! Game 161 is indeed Jones, B - Carleton, J and not Chesters, G.

Will try to amend the pgn file - not quite sure how to do it at the moment - and resubmit. I will also try to send a Final Table for the Individual Championship which would provide a cross-check for any other errors.

I have hopefully succeeded in changing the pgn database, the new version of which is attached.

Best wishes

Updated pgn file attached.

Possibly Tom Bimpson now of Atticus in Liverpool?

Jeff Blumson, Nottingham University.

A few mentioned players passed through or came from Canada, and/or I have played them. Nicholas Patterson, Alan Ludgate, Irwin Lipnowski, Ray Lee. Sharpe I think is "I.W. Sharpe" or "Ian Sharpe". David Youston corresponded, in the days of paper, pen, ink and Her Majesty in a rectangle with a number on it. In this case, the rectangle also carried the letters ACDN, one of them more than once.
