[2] announces a line-up including Denckens and Gheysen, but it seems they dropped out before the start.[1] gives almost complete results, final standings, and every now and then in between standings. Most of these are corroborated by [3], the one difference being that my reconstruction from [1] and [2] has Gobert beating Winants with Gobert on 7½ and Winants on 5 at the end.I followed [3], since that’s as official a source as it gets. For the same reason I’ve assumed it Helmut Schumacher playing and not Erich.

The top three qualified for the Belgian championship. I don’t know whether Boudelet qualified over Winants due to better tie-breaks of whether there was a play-off. Sadly, I have no games.

Wanted

  • All games.
  • Cambier’s first name.
