This crosstable was extracted from results in [1], which also gives one game. [2] gives one more game. The result of the game between Prils and A. Dunkelblum was not mentioned in [1], but the final standings are. Gottesdiener (0 against Koltanowski) and Perlmutter (½ against Censer) played one game in the final (as far as I know) but then dropped out of the tournament. The final standings from the preliminaries are taken from [3]. I don’t know whether Prils and Van Stappen edged out Laub on tie-breaks or whether play-offs were played.
[1] gives the winner’s name as Ensel, but as Censer qualified from the preliminaries and as he would go on to play under a pseudonym later on, it seems probable that it was him.
Wanted
- Almost all games.
- The first names of Van Stappen and Embrechts.
