Date	Notes
5 October 2023	First upload: 112 games, 3 part-games, 75 stubs, plus 14 games from the lower section. Note that I have excluded the stub games from the game viewer but these stubs are included in the download file. Tony Gillam's book Manchester 1890 (The Chess Player, 2011) was very useful in assembling this file of games and I'm very grateful to Tony for supplying me with a copy.
