Event table notes

Event data
Name: 34th British Chess Federation Congress - Premier Tournament
Place: Harrogate
Start date: 11 Aug. 1947
End date: 22 Aug. 1947
 
Notes:
Di Felice has 'Charlesworth, K.B.' and 'Mrs. Bruce, Rowena Mary' here; Saunders has 'Kenneth Preston Charelsworth' and 'Ronald Mackay Bruce'. The play-off for first between Broadbent and Golombek was played in October, so I include it here as a separate match.
