Records
Note:
Some of the records mentioned are not comparable with one another, because on the one hand scores are given after the rating of 1920 and on the other hand scores are given after the rating of 1934. A certain degree of comparability results from the respective conversions in the current valuation system from 1985. But these are also only approximate values, because the different standards of the time must apply as the basis.
