Polish representative Blehm had a magnificent tournament and was the first player ever to score 100% in the long history of the Hallsberg tournament. Croonenborghs had a satisfactory tournament, meeting many of the top players and not scoring too badly against them. There was also a blitz tournament, but I do not know whether Croonenborghs participated.

[3] has all the games with the exception of the second round game between Lötscher and Jędryczka. [3] gives the final standings, which are compatible with the results from the games provided Lötscher won this missing game (or perhaps Jędryczka forfeited). [1] announces the dates. As there are nine days and nine rounds, it seems reasonable to assume one round was played per day. Note that [3] gives Eriksson’s first name as Johan instead of Jonas. This is contradicted by [3] and would also be highly implausible as Johan Eriksson was not a junior anymore at this point.

Wanted

  • Some confirmation for the dates.
