I know very little about this tournament. [1] gives the results of the first three rounds as well as the final standings, which sufficed to reconstruct the crosstable above. It also mentions this tournament was held to celebrate the founding of Bonneweg 40 years before. Presumably, the chess club of Bonneweg is meant. The same source calls this the final group, so presumably some kind of preliminaries were held before. I’m not sure I got all the nationalities correct.

Wanted

  • All games.
  • De Muyser’s first name.
  • The results of the preliminaries.
