Zonal Clippings

Continuing the evolution of my project on the zonals...

The World Chess Championship Zonals

...I've collected many photocopied articles documenting the results of the individual events. For the past few months I've been considering how I should handle them, and I decided to use the photocopies the same way I would paste clippings into a workbook. A later step would be to transcribe the scanned images to a machine readable digital format with the parallel goal of collecting PGN game scores, then using those to produce crosstables.

The first zonal cycle is here...

Zonals 1946-48

It's primitive, but I don't want to be locked in by too many design decisions at this early stage.
