The additions include Paris 1878, Gothenburg Group B 1920, Merano 1924, Leningrad 1937 and the three Stevenson Memorial tournaments at Southsea from 1949 to 1951.

Memorial collections add Goglidze 1971 and 1977, Raud 1972, Chigorin at Sochi in 1981, Khodzhaev 1982, Tal 1992, Geller 1999 and the Petrosian Open of 2004.

The complete Carlos Torre knockout tournaments of 2003 and 2004 join the archive, alongside the Karpov–Kasparov rapid match in New York in 2002 and the György Marx Memorial rapid match in Paks in 2003.

Each About page distinguishes the surviving scores from missing games and records the published results where the collection is incomplete.

Schultz Memorial 1919 also gains five surviving games involving a withdrawn player. Those scores remain separate from the officially counted results.
