I hope that both the amateur and professional will use this to ensure that
games are not named after the same year (for example, at one point there
were three different games using the 1839 title). While I do not claim that
I can dictate to you, I hope to maintain this list with Francis Thresham
and ensure that titles are correctly logged and allocated. The intention is
to act as a clearing house if that is not being to presumptuous.
More on this at a later date.
