The beginning of this match was announced for January 1961, but it only started in February. The tempo was 30 days for 10 moves, with every move to be sent within 8 days. The official end date was August 15th, but the final results were already published in June 1962. Apparently, the full time wasn’t needed in any game. The match table above and two of the games come from coverage in the official bulletin of the Belgian correspondence chess federation ([1] & [2]). A third game comes from [3]. Wanted

  • Most games.
  • Quite a few first names.
