IM Stoltz, Gösta SWE 1 ½ ½ 0 ½ ½ ½ ½ 4 1 6 1

The match was necessary because both players had tied for first place in the Nordic Zonal.
Böök qualified by virtue of a better Berger score in the main tournament,
but due to numerous withdrawals, Stoltz was also invited to participate in the Saltsjöbaden Interzonal.
