The inaugural championship of the Belgian chess federation was not won by future superstars Colle or Koltanowski, but by the mostly forgotten Boruchowitz. In the minor section, Lenglez won before Berenblum, who later became a famous biologist in Israel. [1] gives full results and some games. Thanks to Mr. Philip Jurgens, who sent me a game from [2].

Wanted

  • Most games.
