The games and the crosstable are widely available. I took the former from [1] and the latter from [2]. O’Kelly was, together with Kluger, the only one who held himself against the Soviet players. This tournament was perhaps a bit weaker than the previous edition, but there were some very strong untitled players from the Soviet union.
