10 Van Hoek 1-0 Mrahr
Tot Dutch Limburg 5-5 Belgian Limburg

The traditional match between the two provinces of Limburg ended in a tie this time, which was considered a success for the Belgian team. The results above are as given in [2] and [3]. [1] gives it a little differently, with the game Peters — van der Put supposedly taking place on board 10 with Peters playing fur Dutch Limburg, and with Mrahr winning his game. Note that Mrahr name has a different spelling in all three sources. The only game I have comes from [4].

Wanted

  • All but one of the games.
  • Quite a few first names.
