The only Belgian victory ever in a zonal tournament. It came about after Pachman lost to Tsvetkov in the last round, while O’Kelly defeated Doerner. The tournament was held in Hotel Santbergen; Kmoch was arbiter. Originally, Tartakower was supposed to represent France but he couldn’t come due to ‘force majeur’. Scottish champion Combe called of. A Romanian player didn’t show up. All information I have comes from the tournament book [1], from which the following is a rough scan:
1. Alexander 2. O’Sullivan 3. Foerder 4. Blau 5. Plater 6. Pachman 7. Trifunovic 8. Kooiman 9. Spit 10. Tsvetkov 11. Castaldi 12. Van Scheltinga 13. Rossolimo 14. Doerner 15. O’Kelly 16. Van Hofwegen 17. Groosjohan 18. Van Ewijk 19. Kmoch 20. Szabo 21. Eggink 22. Burgersdijk 23. Nieukerke 24. Zittersteyn 25. De Boer
