The Dutch champion Watergraafsmeer did not have its big international stars in the line-up, but they were nevertheless far stronger than the Belgian side. On the first day, Ghent held its own, but the second day saw a wipe-out. Mr. Van Herck kindly provided me with his two games; [1] gives full results and two more games. Note that [1] gives both games on board nine as won by Harder, which doesn’t fit with the final results. Mr. Olthof, who also provided some first names, kindly corrected me, quoting [3]: Harder lost his first game.

Wanted

  • What’s the correct match table?
  • Most games.
  • Some first names.
