[2] has all the games from the experts and class A sections. [1] gives the crosstables and one game from the women’s section. Since Cekro and Claesen shared first place a play-off match had to be played, that was won by the former. The Class A tournament saw a convincing victory for Thirion. This should have meant that he qualified for the Experts’ section the year after, but for some reason this didn’t happen.
Wanted
- Most games.
- The complete crosstable of the open section.
