The crosstable for the main section was reconstructed from partial results and final standings given by Stumpers in the chess column in [1]. After two rounds, Franck was leading with 2/2, but he lost his final game against the previous year’s winner. In the lower section, quite a few more Belgians participated. The main tournament was played on November 24th and 25th. A couple of weeks later, on December 15th and 16th, a play-off was organised for the A group. Again, Franck lost in the last round.

Wanted

  • All games.
  • The crosstable for the B group and some lower groups.
