    material contributed by Eduardo Bauza Mercere)

    (Miguel Najdorf: King of the King's Indian Defense) and hope to have that
    available for purchase again within the next week. Posted 14 more
    crosstables, from CL archives and from Eduardo Bauza Mercere.

    Crosstable Standards.

  • 1/1/07 Completed conversion to .htm file type. All posted crosstables are
    now searchable for player name. Next steps planned (2007):
  • Post the remainder of the available Chess Library archive files
    (approx. 300 more tournaments)
  • Post additional info on Minev (best games, crosstables)
  • Verfication/confidence level info on all crosstables
  • New crosstables from primary sources
  • 12/28/06 I discovered that site search will not work for .pdfs with the tools
    available, so am switching to .html for crosstables. This will allow for a
    search by player name which will return crosstables the player appears in
    (events through 1939 converted). New info added on crosstable verfication
    and accuracy.
