The additions include the first Labourdonnais–McDonnell match in London in 1834, Nuremberg 1883, the 1957 Wageningen zonal and qualifying playoff, and the São Paulo zonal of 1972. They also cover Lubomir Kavalek’s championship win in Luhačovice 1968 and victory at Lanzarote 1973.

The 80 collections contain 11,980 game records. Events with missing scores carry incomplete-record notices, and official results accompany the surviving games. Eleven Hungarian championship records from 1947 survive as position fragments. Published notes explain shorter surviving scores and unplayed defaults.
