Event table notes

Event data
Name: 40th American Chess Federation Congress - Final
Place: New York
Start date: 21 July 1939
End date: 29 July 1939
 
Notes:
Jaffe forfeited 6 games, including the game against Fine, but it is not clear which the others were. Chessgames.com has Jaffe's games against Reshevsky, Horowitz, and Pinkus, so 5 of the others were forfeits, but without knowing which, I will exclude all 7.
