The last of Colle’s three big victories and probably his greatest result. In fact, it might be the best result ever for any Belgian player: unbeaten, one point clear of the rest of the field which included grandmasters like Maróczy, Rubinstein and Grünfeld. The games are widely available, I took them from [3]. The crosstable and the dates come from [1] and [2].
