For the fifth time, the Leuven chess club Lustige Vrijpion organised an open tournament. It attracted some of the country’s best players as well as a couple of renowned foreign players. The two Mainka’s and Azmaiparashvili — who at this point was already a top 100 player — had previously played in the Schilde junior tournaments. The Soviet master had some hundred Elo points on his competition and took clear first without much trouble. On the Belgian side, there was a surprisingly good performance by Anciaux and a somewhat disappointing one by Polaczek.

My only source for this is a scanned copy of [1], which was very kindly provided by Mr. Stefan Roosen. It contains the full results, including title data, as well as a quite large selection of games. It does not mention the schedule, but it does say the first round was played on the evening of Thursday, November 10. Probably, two rounds each were played on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have assumed this in the .pgn file.
