Archive coverage

The archive contains 39 of the 119 games played in this sixteen-player round robin. The table uses the official final points and records from played games. Kirov’s last-round win against Szilagyi was an unplayed walkover: it contributes one official point, but no played game or win, and its blank cell does not mark a lost score. Damjanovic played his final four opponents in advance before leaving.

The contemporary crosstable establishes Gheorghiu’s win against Kirov and Spassov’s win against Popov. Their available scores stop on moves 15 and 22; Smejkal–Kirov stops on move 29. Longer reference versions exist, but their continuations have not been verified against contemporary printed scores. The archive preserves the available moves.
