(Falk, Harald): "1825. 1903 - 1953. Koninklijke Schaakkring van Antwerpen - Cercle Royal des Echecs d'Anvers. Jubileum Tornooi - Tournoi Jubilaire. Kampioenschap van de Belgische Schaakbond - Championnat de la Fédération Belge des Echecs 1953".

Antwerpen, self published, 1953. Original stapled bound edition, typed on the front of the sheets. 1 unnumbered Introduction sheet by The committee + 4 unnumbered sheets of light biographies of the participants + 31 numbered pages with the games and excellent summaries of each round. 28 x 22 cm. Simultaneously in Dutch and French.

Very good: General browning in covers, mainly in edges, with minimal stains. Staples with rust, and slight breaks in the edges of the covers, with a small break in the middle of the spine. Inside in excellent condition.

Except for perhaps Devos and Limbos, all the strongest Belgian players were present, but it turned again into a rather convincing victory for O’Kelly, although he faced some stiff competition in Van Seters. Youngster Boey proved not strong enough yet for this tournament. Source: http://www.belgianchesshistory.be/tournament/fbe-championship-antwerp/

As a curious fact, it is worth mentioning the excellent performance of a native of Antwerpen, Samy Rubinstein (son of the great Akiba Rubinstein), reached the third position, and losing only with the first 2 classified.
