[1] gives the crosstable, a picture, and one of O’Kelly’s games. The first names of Koessler and Lukeš were provided by a correspondent. A scan of the game score of O’Kelly-Pirc was sent to me. Two more games come from contemporary Belgian newspapers ([3] & [4]).
O’Kelly’s shared first place was a beautiful achievement, but it was only to be the prelude to his great victory in the zonal tournament in Hilversum later that year.
Wanted
- Almost all games.
