I represent the games from the European Team Championships. There were
many, many errors and games missing from the file. Luc Winants however has a
far more accurate file of games (having typed the missing ones in from the
bulletin) than any before so it seems worth posting the games again. In
addition Felix Izeta sent corrected scores to three of his games from the
European Teams. You should delete all other versions of these games.
