[1] has two games, [2] has complete results. Apparently, there were two reserve players for each team (the Dutch players Nieukerke and Rassers scored respectively two draws and two victories) who played unofficial games. [6] mentions that the latter won his two games against a Vanstruijne; perhaps, Carlos Vantuyne is meant. [1] claims that this match was played in Den Bosch but all other sources I found quote Breda instead. In fact, [2] even gives the venue: café/restaurant Moderne. For the longest time, I did not know Wind’s first name, but it was found in [5] by Mr. Kersten. In the first round, De Mey lost on time, because he thought he has to play only 40 moves in 2:30′ instead of 45.

Wanted

  • Most games.
  • The results of the reserve players.
