Event data
Name: V.A.S. tournament play-off
Place: Amsterdam (?)
Start date: 1894
End date: 1894
 
Notes:
These three players tied for first in the main event and so had to play off the tie. The scores given are 4 for van Lennep, 3.5 for Bleijkmans, and 0.5 for van Foreest, but these add to 8, so probably this was a triple-round all-play-all with 3 games per pairing, or 9 overall, so I will guess that van Foreest actually got 1.5 points to make the total 9. It is also possible that one game was not played, but this seems unlikely given the close result between van Lennep and Bleijkmans. I will guess that this was A.E. van Foreest, rather than D. van Foreest.
