  nizmo11: Suomen Shakki on the match (Suomen Shakki, 01.06.1933, no. 3, p. 3) slightly edited Google translation:
" Match for the Finnish Championship, Rasmussen - Krogius 6.5 - 3.5

After a tough match, the Finnish championship has changed hands and - once again fell to the player who was last promoted to the championship class.

After many matches, Birger Rasmusson has now become the country's first player thanks to his unique energy and often profound positional instinct. He often unnecessarily put his position in grave danger with his daring game handling, but his excellent ability to invent traps still saved a point or half of it against Krogius, who was obviously out of tune this time. In this match, Krogius generally played the opening well, but his endurance failed in almost every game, so he was not able to take his game to victory even in superior positions. This obvious uncertainty of Krogius must have been partly the reason for Rasmusson's boldness in threats, for R. evidently thought, in the messy positions, that he was stronger than his opponent and the result of the match proved him right."
