[1] and [2] give enough results to reconstruct the crosstables as above. A scan of the bulletin ([3]) was kindly sent to me by Mr. Tamm, for which I am very grateful. Unfortunately, the penultimate page was missing, which means I am still missing one game and probably part of another one.

Since O’Kelly and Devos shared first place, a play-off match was organised. As this, too, ended in a tie, a second match was necessary. This final match, played well into 1938 and particularly hard to find information about, was won by O’Kelly. In the minor tournament, things were less complicated, as Van Sevenandt won outright.

Wanted

  • The last round game between Soultanbeieff and Cherubim.
  • Possibly some moves in the game between Defosse and Sapira.
  • First names for Lempert, Elbaum, Moore, Schön, and Tensen.
