Data notes: All 1,190 results, 119 match scores and individual statistics checked against Chess-Results. TWIC supplies 599 records, 597 with moves. Only official FIDE standard ratings from August 2023 are used; 36 national fallback ratings in the roster source are omitted. Twenty board defaults are marked without adding results twice; source moves, including two initial-move default records, are preserved. Two TWIC games wrongly identify Papafi's Dimitrios Papakonstantinou as the EA Patron namesake; corrected against official line-ups. Pletsia-Tsekoura, round 1 board 7: official 1-0 replaces TWIC 0-1, with moves preserved. Individual board-medal regulations remain unverified; automatic awards disabled.
