| Data notes: |
All 528 games have moves. Three source results were corrected from official FFE match sheets, preserving all moves. All 528 output results and all 66 match scores agree with FFE. Names, titles, federations and official Elo were checked against the May 2017 FIDE list. No dollar tags or fictitious games are used. Source Round suffixes denoting match numbers were converted to board numbers. Libiszewski-Nezar (round 2, board 6): FFE gives the opposite colors to the source PGN; original PGN colors and moves are retained pending independent confirmation. |
