After the second world war, the Belgian chess federation starting organising two tournaments each year: the FBÉ/BSB championship was open for foreigners, like Van Seters and Soultanbeieff, and the Belgian championship was only for Belgians. I do not know much about this tournament; what little I have I found in [1].

Wanted

  • Almost all games.
  • The exact dates.
  • I’m not sure about the nationalities – especially Limont Ivanoff and Korganoff don’t seem very Belgian names…
