Belgium ended on the 19th place of 26 teams; a a serious step back from the 6th place they reached in Dubrovnik. The Belgian team started with a surprising victory over England, but then fell back. O’Kelly scored a mediocre 50% against titled players. Lemaire did reasonably well on board 3, but Franck and Gobert scored very little. Here are the detailed results.
