Another incomplete championship, since the participation of the Novinar team was cancelled. This was one of the most exciting championships, and the champion was decided only at the very end. Before the last round, the three candidates for the title were Red Star (29), Partizan (28½) and PTT Zagreb with 27 points. Admittedly, Mladost from Zagreb was in the lead with 32½ points, but as they were free in the last round, they had no theoretical chance to win the title. PTT was therefore only third, but had a much easier job than the great Belgrade rivals, who played each other. Namely, the people of Zagreb beat the weakest team of the championship, the Sombor Chess Club, with the expected convincing 8-2, while in the "eternal" derby, Red Star defeated Partizan by a minimal score. Zvezda was only half a point behind PTT.

Partizan was drastically weakened during this championship, missing Gligorić, Matanović (they played in the tournament in Tel Aviv), Sokolov, Milunka Lazarević and Henrijeta Konarkovska Sokolov, and Mladost (Udovčić, Rabar, Marović), Zvezda (Vera Nedeljković), Maribor (Ljubomir Črepinšek)
