The Flemish championship saw a new format this year, maybe as a late consequence of the mid-nineties knock-out craze. The tournament was held in Mister 100 in Mechelen. The final was over two games, but all other rounds were just a single game. If this game was drawn, a rapid game play-off was held. [1] has complete results and a few games. After a player had been eliminated from the experts’ section, he could still enrol in the open.
Open: 1-2. Daels & Vanderwaeren 4½/5 3-5. M. Schepers, Van Soom & Kayikgi 4 6-11. Vermeulen, P. Van Herck, Maerevoet, Londers, Michiels & Nieto 3½ 12-20. Van Mechelen, Provinciael, Logie, Van Sebroeck, Krukowski, Verhaegen, J. Schepers, Van Landeghem & Van Gompel 3 … (51)
