The main tournament had a rather strange program: each country had four players who all played one game each. I suspect that means they missed one team. This, combined with the final standings and the individual results of the Luxembourg players given in [1] allowed for the reconstruction of the table above. The results of the minor tournament come from [2]. [2] seems to use the 3-2-1 scoring system instead of the 1-½-0 system which [1] mentions; I’m not sure which one was official. The Belgian team consisted of Johan Goormachtigh (0), Bruno De Jonghe (½), Ronald Weemaes (1), and Philippe Vanderwgen (1). The results of the Luxembourgian players, who were accompanied by Georges Philippe, were as follows:

Daubenfeld LUX 0-1 Schwedt FRA
Peffer LUX 0-1 de Clopper NED
Siedler LUX 0-1 Weemaes, Ronald BEL
Biver LUX 0-1 Könner GER
