The crosstable comes from [1], [2] gives all but one of the games. After the three-way tie, a play-off was organised, which was won by Gobert. Originally, this tournament was supposed to be played in Brussels, but when it turned out that many strong players (O’Kelly, Dunkelblum, etc.) would not participate, the would-be organisers lost interest and the tournament was held in Merksem instead.

Wanted
