   | Name: Olympiad Selection Tournament |  
   | Place: Reykjavik |  
   | Start date: 1938 |  
   | End date:   1938 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Only partial results available. This seems to have been a 15-player single-round all-play-all tournament. The scores given also allow the possibility that it was an 8-player double round all-play-all, but this is much less likely, as the remaining two players would only have 2 points between them, and so would have to have lost to all other players. |  |  |  |
