A good result for O’Kelly, but the great Belgian success came from the women’s group, which was won with an excellent 7½/9 by Bussers. In the junior group Van den Broeck did decently well, but Somers had a disappointing tournament. The games from the masters’ group are widely available (I took them from [2]), the corresponding crosstable comes from [1]. The table for the junior group was puzzled together from partial results given in the tournament bulletin. Finally, the Utrechts Nieuwsblad gives the final standings from the women’s group. I found a few games from the women’s section in [3].

Wanted

  • The crosstables for the women’s group.
  • Almost all games from the women’s group and all games from the junior group.
  • First names for van Son, Kersten, Hameka, and Heim.
