Albert Poensgen thus defended the world championship he had won in 1931. In no phase of the playoff did van Belle come into play and lose relatively significantly. The only game lost in the normal course of the tournament was taught by Poensgen to the Egyptian Edmond Soussa in 17 shots. The second German Carl Foerster showed a good performance in the game against the American Worth Bergherm, which he won in 15 recordings.
