The game record

The archive contains a legal score for each of the 120 pairings. Nineteen recorded draws contain fewer than forty plies. Cafferty–Mestel in round one ends after White’s eighth move; Gašić–Damjanović in round three reaches White’s twentieth. These brief scores are preserved as recorded.

Corden–Janošević is recorded here as a draw, following Matera’s contemporary 1975 table. That gives Janošević 8 points and Corden 5. Later archives report a Black win and totals of 8½ and 4½. The surviving 104-ply game score is preserved without changing its moves.

Matulović–Matera was played on the first rest day, although its source record retains the scheduled final-round label and date. No replacement date has been inferred.
