7 ... You present only about half of [the Nottingham 1936
7 crosstable]. Nottingham 1936 had a field of 15, not 8. You
7 have completely omitted Vidmar, Tartakower, Bogolyubov,
7 Tylor, Alexander, Thomas, and Winter. ... Lasker did not
7 finish last. ... Lasker finished =3D7-8th, tied with Flohr, not 8th.

7 ... but again it is my fault for not listing all the players! and
7 sure, he didn't come last of all - but last after all these
7 people who Kingston reported he had dealt with previously
7 so as to have championed over them ...

7 ... It certainly *_is_* your fault to say that Lasker came *_last_*
7 at Nottingham 1936. =3D7-8th is definitely *_not_* last in a field
7 of 15. No one said it but you, so who else's fault can it be? ...

7 LOL. this is too funny. Sorry but I don't think a hair can be split
7 any farther. Did anyone finish below him? I think in most sports,
7 if noone finishes below you ,you are last. But I may be proven
7 wrong, wouldn't be the first time either. :-)

7 If one finishes above seven other players, then one is not last.
7 See above for details.

Phil Innes did not originally write "last in the group".

In that note, Phil Innes also referred to a partial
cross table as "the cross table for the tournament."
See above for details.
