The crosstable was reconstructed from the games in [1] and [2] and the final standings as given in [1]. [3] gives one game between Dyner and Dreyer played in Antwerp in 1934, but I’m not completely sure that it is from this tournament. It is included for completeness’ sake. Dyner was Polish, but had been living in Belgium for some time at this point and was the reigning champion of the Belgian federation. Koltanowski was champion of the Flemish chess federation.

This picture from [5] shows the game between Koltanowski (left) and Dyner (right). It seems Dyner is contemplating his 23rd move. Can someone identify any of the spectators?
