This tournament was apparently organised by the Bruges chess club to give some of its players a welcome chance to meet some of the country’s top players. As [1] was published by the same club, it is not surprising it gives the crosstables and a couple of game. Van Seters victory was rather unsurprising. Buysschaert was rarely in the country at this time, but managed to score a nice victory in his group. Bossuyt’s victory against De Wulf won him the yearly brilliancy prize of the organising club.
