The additions include Oldenburg 1949, Reykjavík 1974 and Brussels OHRA 1985; the Asztalos, Boris Kostić, Chigorin, Goglidze, Keres, Pirc, Rubinstein and Tóth memorials; and the Erik Olson Memorial played across 1967 and 1968.

Two complete Zürich team contests join the archive, with 50 games each from the 1998 Nagler Memorial and 1999 Ehrat Memorial. Later additions include the Furman, Geller, Réti and Petrosian memorials, Frankfurt Chess Classics Masters 1998 and Corsica Masters 2003.

The 2001 Botvinnik Memorial match collects Kasparov and Kramnik's four classical, six rapid and ten blitz games. Each event has an About page; where game scores are missing or incomplete, the page states the limits and preserves the published results.

Five further collections add the complete 1989 Cannes generation match, the 1972 Ivan Parčetić Memorial in Sombor, and the Keres rapid finals held in Tallinn in 1998, 2001 and 2005.

Ten more collections add 496 surviving scores: the 1918 Charousek Memorial, the 1968 Rubinstein Memorial, Goglidze 1969/70 and 1974, Kostić 1971, Chigorin 1972, Najdorf 2000, and the Keres rapid finals of 2000, 2002 and January 2004. The historical tables retain results for games whose scores are unavailable in the archive.

Ten further archives add 1,240 games: the second Trebitsch Memorial of 1909/10 and Trebitsch 1929/30, Sokolsky 1970/71, Voellmy 1952, Pedro Zabala 2004, Chigorin 1995 and 1999, Najdorf 2002, the Carlos Falcón blitz match of 1999, and the 1988 World Blitz Championship won by Mikhail Tal. Each About page distinguishes the surviving scores from missing games.
