According to [1], this tournament brought together players from Antwerp and Brussels for a set of quadrangular tournaments, I presume with two players from Brussels and two from Antwerp per group. [1] furthermore claims that this tournament took place on February 8th, 1920, but this is contradicted by [2], which announces the dates as January 18th, the venue as Hotel Wagner on Frankrijklei, and a very intense playing schedule: 20 moves per hour, from 9:00 to 12:00, from 14:30 to 18:00, and from 20:00 to 23:00.

Wanted

  • All games.
  • Braunschweig’s first name.
  • Crosstables from the lower sections.
