[2] gives full results and a few games. Due to some of O’Kelly’s games being adjourned, Barendregt led at the start of the tournament, but he fell back in the last rounds. Note that di Felice ([3]) gives Geus’ first name as Klaas instead of William. This is contradicted by [2], which mentions several times that Geus was Dutch junior champion – Klaas Geus was already active in the early 20th century.

[1] give an announcement and the full crostable. The games were played in Amsterdams Schaakhuis, Henri Polaklaan 14. The tempo was 45 moves in 2 hours 30′, then 18 moves per hour. This tournament was sponsored by the KNSB training fund.
