4th SportAccord World Mind Games, Beijing, China - December 11th thru 17th, 2014
Richard Beckwith emailed these 26 games, with a few preliminary
annotations with plans to develop them more later.
The "Rapid"
games were only partly recorded by the players. The rest of these rapid games
(with exception of one early endgame phase where nothing important was missed)
were fully recovered either after-the-fact by the players, by a third party
(sometimes difficult when players move fast), by videotape, or by consulting
Sergio's version at FID, and site sent by Carlo Bordini.
