There are a couple of lines about this tournament in [1], but my main reference is [2]. That newspaper gives the full standings for the two main groups. In the case of the first one, this was enough to reconstruct the crosstable. Mr. Olthof kindly gave sent me Kuijpers’ games, which allowed for the reconstruction of the second crosstable, too. [1] gives the one game I know from the first group, which decided who took first place. It claims it was played on November 23rd, but this is almost certainly wrong. The same newspaper announced that the tournament would take place in the recreational building of the Philips factory in Eindhoven on November 29th and November 30th (round 1 on the 29th, from 18:00 to 23:00, round 2 and three on the 30th, from 09:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00-19:00). This is also corroborated by the fact that the results appeared on Monday, December 1st.
Wanted
- All but one of the games.
