For the third time, an international junior tournament was organised in Switzerland, with financial support by Agnes Litzenberger, a rich Swiss-American widow of a famous antiquary. Czechoslovakian Smejkal was clearly a category too strong for the rest of the field. Rooze held himself and finished in the middle of the table — far better than his Belgian predecessors Bonne and Willems.
The crosstable. comes from [1]. The games were kindly sent to me by Mr. Tamm, who took them from the tournament bulletin. The exact dates come from [3]. The rounds were played from 16:00 to 21:00, with the exception of the last round which started at 14:00. The games were played in the Freizeit-Center ACV, Steinenvorstadt 24.
