The Ghent team had won the 1985-86 national interclub championship and they were chosen to represent Belgium in the Europe cup since the Belgian delegate had to be appointed before the end of the 1986-87 competition. The Anderlecht team protested and, as a strange sort of compromise, the Belgian chess federation decided a play-off match was to be held. Somewhat surprisingly, the Ghent team bested their opponents. This information and the above results come from [1]. [2], which was pointed out to me by Mr. Ron de Haas, gives two games and mentions that this match was played ‘in the woods by Antwerp’. I am not sure what this means precisely. For the moment I have assumed that it was in Antwerp itself, but this is not certain.
