All information I have comes from [1]. This match was held in the Handelsbeurs in Antwerp, on no fewer than 208 boards. There was apparently a separate trophy for the top half, which was convincingly won by North Brabant with 63½-40½, and for the bottom half, which was narrowly won by Belgium with 52½-51½. [1] gives the overall score as 115-93, which is not compatible with these partial scores.

Wanted

  • All games.
