Tot Yugoslavia 8-2 8½-1½ Belgium

A rematch after the 1951 match in Brussels. This time, the Yugoslavian team was much weaker and Belgium might have had a (small) chance had they not played with something of a B-team: Dunkelblum, Van Seters, Soultanbeieff, Devos, Thibaut, Lemaire were all missing. I found the results and one game in [2]. One more game comes from [3]. Note that [1] claims that Fuderer and Van Hoorde as well as Germek and Coosemans drew their respective two games. This is contradicted by both [2] and [3] and can safely be dismissed as being in error.
