The previous year’s winner won again, albeit apparently under a different name. As there were twelve participating teams, the two best scoring losers from the first round qualified as well as all the winners. The Leuvense SK and St. Theresia were selected due to scores on higher boards. [1] gives the above results, but unfortunately no games. Given the dates in [1], I assume this tournament took place in May, but I’m not fully sure.
Wanted
- All the games.
- The individual results.
- The exact dates.
