Colle vs. Znosko-Borovsky, Brussels/Ghent
16-01-1923 > 25-01-1923
| Colle, Edgard | BEL | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Znosko-Borovsky, Eugène | FRA | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
Znosko-Borovsky’s stay in Belgium was mainly used to organise simultaneous exhibition, but there was also a match against the Belgian champion. The young Colle was no match yet for his experienced Franco-Russian opponent, but it wasn’t quite as lop-sided as the score suggests.
[1] gives full results and three of the games I have, although one had to be corrected and completed using [2]. One more game each comes from [3] and [4], which were pointed out to me by Mr. Philip Jurgens. The games were played on January 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, and 25. I think most were played in various clubs in Brussels, but at least one of them took place in Colle’s home city of Ghent.
