Belgium just barely qualified for final B, but did surprisingly well there to finish on an overall 16th place – before the Netherlands, even! O’Kelly remained unbeaten on the first board, while Dunkelblum prolonged his title of “king of the draws” he won in Amsterdam. Here are the detailed results. Pretty much all information one could want is in [1].
