Note that the total for the match Belgium vs. Chile adds up to 5 instead of 6. Probably, the game between Vandezande and Fernández was not finished as its outcome had no influence on anything.

I am very much indebted to Mr. Emanuelli Simoncini for sending most of the games I have as well as the full results and crosstables ([1]). I found ssome more games by Dekeyser in [2]. The Belgian team ended on a decent place, thanks in no small part to Dekeyser’s impressive 9/10 on the last board. Both he and Blockx made IMC norms.
