To celebrate their 25th year, the SK Eupen ’47 chess club organised a small international team tournament. The results above were puzzled together from two small articles, one from a Belgian newspaper ([1]) and one form a Luxembourgian ([2]). In the first round, Liège drew against Luxembourg, but Luxembourg qualified for the final because their victories fell on higher boards. Note that Meeussen, a Belgian player, was part of the Luxembourg team. The results of the Luxembourg team were as follows:

Round 1, 14/10
1 Freise 1-0 Feller, Joseph
2 Schumacher, Helmut ½-½ Milbers, Paul
3 Becker, Dieter 0-1 Sadler
4 Plumanns, Dieter 0-1 Meeussen, Leon
