A good result for O’Kelly, with five wins, six draws and no losses. All the games are widely available; I took them from [1]. The exact date for the games were kindly provided to me by Mr. Philip Jurgens, who found them in contemporary Icelandic newspapers. The picture below was also pointed out to me by him.
