Only four participants in this edition of the Antwerp league championship: Schiff was originally scheduled to participate, but dropped out for reasons unknown to me. As Eisenstein had the Austrian nationality, he was not eligible to play in the interleague championship and his results were ignored regarding qualification for that tournament. So, for the purpose of the interleague tournament, the final standings were: 1. Vandiest 3/4 2. Van den Driessche 2 3. Blockx 1.
Vandiest, who was chess columnist for De Volksgazet, published the final standings and enough results to reconstruct the crosstable above. He also published quite a few games. Unsurprisingly, his own are overrepresented.
Wanted
- Eisenstein’s first names.
- A couple of games.
