[1] gives the complete results as well as some games. [2] gives two more games and I found one more in [3]. This match was a part of qualification group 4 for the 5th European team chess championship. As expected, the Belgian team led a resounding defeat. The game Beyen-Filip is one of the most famous in Belgian chess history, including a tactical motive which is sometimes known as Beyen’s trick.
