The games are widely available. [1] has the crosstable and some information. This tournament was the zonal tournament for Western Europe.

1-2. Bauer & Speelman 4/7 3-6. Miles, Nijboer, Magem Badals & Reinderman 3½ 7-8. Dorfman & Van Wely 3
Gurevich just missed a place in this play-off tournament. The other two Belgians finished in the middle of the pack.
