In [1], one can find the announcement and the complete results of the individual tournament. Bergsma lost in the first round, but won the next three rounds and found himself on shared first place with Van Seters. He then defeated the Dutch Belgian in the final round and took first place.

In the team tournaments, the two teams from Brussels reigned supreme. I don’t know who played in those teams, but presumably there were some very strong players; perhaps Lemaire, Thibaut, etc.

Wanted

  • All the games.
