[1] gives the final crosstable and the individual results of the CRÉ Brussels team. [2] gives the full .pgn excepting the games from the K Ghent S Ruy Lopez vs. L’Échiquier du Grand-Mons encounter but including the headers of the forfeited games. This allowed me to reconstruct the individual results, which can be found here. The most interesting names on the participation list are top-100 player Mikhail Gurevich, future FIDÉ world champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov, and the legendary David Bronstein.

The second and sixth column give the data from the July 1997 Elo list which was current at the beginning of the tournament. The third and seventh column give the data from the January 1997 Elo list which was current at the end of the tournament. Wins by forfeit are not included. I have tried to reconstruct the board order, but this has been impossible for some participants who played only a few games.
