The round by round results can be found here. The tournament took place at Westminster Hall and was arbitrated by Hardcastle. The time control was 90 minutes for 30 moves, then 30 minutes for every 10 moves. It is unclear whether or not the tie-break system was really match points. Koltanowski started slowly but finished with 5 out of 6, which made him the best score of the Belgian team by a wide margin. Although, of course, Colle was missing. Note that there was no fixed board order.
