Notes

  1. Spelling at the request of the man (signature), different spellings will be changed.
  2. The DWZ index card of the German Chess Federation states: Srokovskiy, Alexander; Srokovskiy, Andrea; IM Srokovskiy, Yaroslav and GM Borulya, Ekaterina Uriivna, which will probably be corrected after clarification. There are also different spellings for her husband.
