The games are widely available – I took them from [1] – but the game Okay-Emmins is often given as won for black, which is unlikely in view of the position and the final standings, both for teams and individual, as given in [3]. I am very grateful to Mr. Jan Gooris ([4]) for sending me the schedule, including the exact dates. On Wednesday, he could not play for professional reasons. Consequently, he was not paired in the fourth round, but it seems he did not get a bye. Strangely, the Buchholz scores of his opponents as given in [3] seems to be too high. Maybe Gooris got a fictive half point?

[2] mentions that there was a ‘flash’ tournament – no doubt this means a blitz tournament – for which the final standings at the top were as follows:

1-2. Hammond & Wantiez 8½ 3. Renette 8 4-5. Corvi & Falbo 7½ …

I do not know how many round were played nor how many participants there were. Renette did not participate in the NATO championship proper, so maybe this tournament was open for everybody, I do not know.

Notice that Rudy Tia is given as a member of the chess federation of Papua New Guinea on the FIDÉ list of July 2000, but represented the USA team in this tournament. It seems like each team consisted of six players, with the players left over forming a NATO team. The scores of the four best players from each team were added, giving the following team classification:

• The crosstable for the blitz tournament.
