5-Round group A: 1. J. Mollekens 4½/5 2. A. Holtes 4 3. J. Nijman 3 …

The crosstable and the top standings of the 5-round event come from [1]. An incorrect crosstable for the main group was published in the February issue of the Tijdschrift, but this was rectified in the next issue. Three games come from [2] and the last game I have comes from [3].[4] gives the round-by-round results, from which I could deduce which games were played in what rounds. It seems there was one game a day for nine consecutive days, but I’m not completely sure.

I have all (and only) O’Kelly’s decided games – and he had black in all of them! This was not one of his better tournament results. I’m grateful to Philip Jurgens who pointed out the picture below to me.

This picture comes from the Anefo picture collection of the Nederlands Nationaal Archief. It’s from round 4 on January 6. It shows, sitting from left to right, Prins, O’Kelly de Galway, Wood, Kottnauer, van Steenis, and van Scheltinga. The person standing behind O’Kelly is probably Cortlever.
