Full results and all games were given in [1]. The games were played in the Maashotel. There is some discrepancy in contemporary newspapers about the schedule of the tournament. Rotterdamsch Nieuwsblad 24/12 announces the dates December 24th to 31st, with December 26th and 29th being reserved for adjourned games. Utrechtsche Courant 24/12, on the other hand, gives the days as 24th to 29th. Judging from the articles and the dates of publication of [1], it seems that, following Utrechtsche Courant, one round was played per day, with adjourned games presumably played before the rounds.

Colle got quite busy: four of his six games were indeed adjourned. Several amateur tournament were held alongside this masters’ group, with the main groups being won by Spanjaard and Addicks, respectively. This tournament is of some historical interest, since it was, as far as I know, the last tournament for both Colle and Rubinstein — excepting, that is, a consultation tournament they played right after this one in the same city.
