Boey was probably qualified because of his good result in the previous world championship. However, this time he didn’t do as well: Sloth managed to edge out the Russians thanks to his better Sonneborn-Berger score. I took the crosstable from [1]. The games are widely available, I took them from [2]. The titles should be as at the beginning of the tournament. They come from [3]. I have also included some games played by Jacques Roose in the preliminaries from [4].

 Wanted

  • The crosstables from the preliminary sections.
