After the match against Luxembourg, the Belgian team, which was on its way to the olimpiad in Dubrovnik, also played a match against a Swiss team, which was really a Zürich team. Thibaut and Van Hoorde won their games in both matches. [1] has all games, [2] has full results. I’m grateful to Mr. Philip Jurgens for providing first names for some of the Swiss players. Note that the match was officially played on eight boards only, so the official result was a 4-4 tie.
