This kind of mass matches were quite popular in Belgium at this time. Fifty boards, like here, was not an exception. The victory for East Flanders may come as a surprise to people familiar with the Belgian chess scene form the forties, but the Antwerp team was particularly weak. Gerits, for example, had only been board 4 for Antwerp in a similar match a few months earlier. [1] gives the results on the first ten boards. I have no games, unfortunately.
