Am trying to get some games up that have a satisfying conclusion, like you can tell who won, it seems most games or all I have up at the moment are just kind of... fading out to no real conclusion... anyone wanna tackle this?
PGN Confusion

I'm working on State Tournament, April 14, 1940 Powers vs Durkin
Does anyone here recognize my grandfather's name, Averill Powers?

It should be either Qa4 or Qh4+ (if white to move). If black to move, Qa5+ or Qh5+
Perfect, it was Qa5+
Woohoo, I finished it and I only needed help on one move!
Anyone know why I'm still getting a JAVA applet error from my PGN file?

Actually oddly enough, it seems to be fixed now O_o
I had a go at photo# 110. Fun game. White thinks he has mate or a queen on move 24 but misses a crushing counterattack beginning with 24...Qc5+
White plays on in the face of overwhelming odds ... 
Very nice idea to preserve these lovely old games, good luck with it !

Thanks Meemo, my grandfather was a remarkable chess player, and I loved playing him when i was a little kid. I'm really enjoying getting them up on the site and truly appreciate all of your and others help in this daunting task :)
Game 5 and 6 on the PGn show errors? If anyone wants to take a look those games are:

Can the error be happening to a 40 move limitation by the chess viewer deluxe applet? The games all seem to end at move 40?
The result should be written "1/2-1/2" in the result field for a draw, and the 0-0 should be removed from the end of the game score, otherwise it thinks the last move is an illegal kingside castle :)
THANK YOU
Okay I fixed it by adding the 1/2-1/2 to the end of the game score after removing the 0-0
Great! Not sure if you've already spotted it but the pgn file has the Lintron game truncated at move 40.
Ya I noticed that.
Do you know why this page is erroring? I have at least 7 tags...

I did The ELO game but there is no result recorded. My guess is that white resigned.
Dont understand his !! after his last move.
