In the honours section, CÉ Colle from Brussels edged out the royal Antwerp chess club on board points, despite losing their encounter. The promotion class was won by Colle, too, but this was a different club from Sint-Niklaas. Similarly, the last position in both groups was taken by Ruy Lopez, but in the honours section by a club from Vorst and in the promotion section by a club from Ghent.

The results and one game from the promotion class come from [1]. Another game from the promotion class comes from [2]. Here are the individual results. The individual scores for the honours class are as below. I have marked with a star (*) those players who have played a game which was arbitrated, but for which I do not know the result.
