I do not know where this tournament was played, but I suspect that one match was played in every city. The score for the match Liege-Maastricht does not add up to 10. One game was adjourned and not arbitrated on time – or perhaps never arbitrated at all since the result didn’t matter. The crosstable and one game come from [1]. The individual results come from [2] and [3]. The results of the match against Aachen are confirmed by [4], which also gives two more games. This last source was kindly pointed out to me by Mr. Ulrich Tamm. The second match was played somewhere in May, probably on a Sunday.
