The Cercle d’Échecs Pétange celebrated its 25th birthday in 1974. On the occasion, a couple of tournaments were organised. This tournament started on Saturday the 5th. There was a junior tournament held alongside it, but no Belgians participated there. Young Schuermans started slowly, but reached an honourable tenth place with some victories over Luxembourgian top players. Van Acker had to withdraw due to illness.
[1] gives full results, although it claims the first-round game Brandenburg — van Haastert was drawn, which contradicts both the preliminary and final standings it gives. So far, I have been unable to find any of Schuermans’ or Van Acker’s games.
