[1] gives the crosstable. It gives the dates as August 10th to August 14th, which seems very short for a 9-round tournament. [4] gives the much more probable August 6th to August 14th. [3] gives a bunch of games, [4] gives one more, and a few additional games come from [5]. According to [2], there was a play-off match over two games, both of which were drawn. Willaert was pronounced champion because of a better SB-score. This tournament was organised by the Gobert-club under direction of Hubert Thys.

Wanted

  • Almost all games.
  • Are the dates correct?
