All information comes from the tournament bulletin ([1]). This tournament was sponsored by Turmac, a tobacco company based in Zevenaar, in their plant. The official opening was on October 23rd. The games were played from 15:00 to 21:00, except for the final round, which was played from 13:00 to 19:00. De Graaf and Wille were arbiters.

The grandmasters dominated the tournament. O’Kelly had a very good start and led the tournament until his unnecessary loss against Henneberke in the 7th round. Two more defeats in the 12th and 13th rounds threw him back a bit, but with a convincing victory in the last round against Bobotsov, he won a shared second prize (f.700 pp).

O’Kelly on the left playing against Henneberke. The picture comes from Nederlands Nationaal Archief, which gives it mirrored. It was taken on November 31st. Mr. Philip Jurgens kindly pointed it out to me.
