This was probably the biggest victory from Defosse’s career. Although the opposition wasn’t that strong on average, there were some good players — and he won with a point a half more! [1] gives full results and most of the games I have. One more game comes from [2].

There was a brilliancy prize which was awarded by Tartakower to Rompteau for his victory over Saint-Aubin. Note that [1] gives quotes around Saint-Aubin’s name, suggesting that it is someone’s pseudonym.

Wanted

  • First names for Goldfays and Saint-Aubin.
  • Quite a few games.
