Originally, five Soviet masters were supposed to participate. When they didn’t arrive, Devos – who was in England after the Hastings congress – was asked to replace on of them. As this was the first international tournament after the world war for many participants, the playing level was quite low – as was the drawing rate, Devos didn’t score very well, but he won against Euwe after the latter overestimated his position. I’m not sure why he resigned against Abrahams, though. Section A was won by Herman Steiner, before Bernstein and Tartakower. All the information comes from the tournament book [1].
