Tournament review

The second Olympiad for the title of Team Champion was held at the East German Baltic spa of Bad Kühlungsborn. It resulted in a triumph even more convincing than at the first Olympiad in 1961 for the Yugoslav team. They dropped only one and a half of a point out of a possible 32 points, only Beratić of Hastings fame dropping any points at all. He was at board one. Mirković, Čabarkapa and Đukanović all scored 100% on boards two, three and four respectively. Hungary came second with 20½ and the host country third with 18½.
