Just one Belgian participant in the preliminaries for the 2nd world championship – and not a very successful one. [1] gives the crosstable. I have only found one game, unfortunately; it comes from [2]. The final of this world championship was held from 1956 to 1959, so supposedly the preliminaries were played from about 1954 until 1956, but I’m not sure.
Wanted
- All but one game.
- First names for Marchetti and Rohrich.
