An announcement in [1] gives the line-ups, the start and end date, and the tempo of ten moves in thirty days, excepting time in post. Mr. Donny organised things on the Belgian side. I found a handful of games in [1]. The others I have come from [2]. Belgium scored a narrow victor with white, but a clear defeat with black.

Wanted

  • Most games.
  • Some first names.
