Full crosstable compiled from results published in Neue Zürcher Zeitung (copy kindly supplied by Ulrich Tamm, for which many thanks). There were some errors/omissions in the printing of the 4th round. I have marked in red those pairings which I have deduced rather than seen in print. I'm about 99% sure these are correct. JS
