| Data notes: | All 960 board results and 120 match scores agree with DSB. A malformed duplicate of Kobalia-Krivoborodov was removed from the source collection. Bogosavljevic-Pijpers 1.4 was supplied from the second official DSB PGN (also confirmed by TWIC 1612). Dennis Wagner-Li Hewei 6.8 was corrected from an erroneous single g4 move to the 49-ply score identical in the second DSB PGN and TWIC 1631. Fourteen Result * tags were completed using DSB results, preserving the game scores. The two forfeits have existing result-only PGN records. Rounds 11-12 were played on 10-11 January 2026, before rounds 5-10. Rounds 13-15 were played centrally in Berlin. Wolfhagen and Deizisau withdrew after the season, allowing SF Berlin and MSA Zugzwang to stay up; Dresden were relegated. Serbian and Croatian d-stroke letters are transliterated as dj and Dj in PGN |
