Team line-ups for the 1960 Chess Olympiad

The tables show the line-up of the teams at the 1960 Chess Olympiad in Leipzig . The 40 participating teams initially played in four preliminary round groups. From these preliminary rounds, three teams each entered the final tournaments A and B. The remaining 16 teams contested the C-final in the Swiss system over eleven rounds. Each team consisted of four regular players and a maximum of two substitute players. In the tables, the final position is given for each team, next to it is the final tournament reached. The team balances are listed separately for the preliminary and final round, whereas the individual balances of the players are shown in the sum of both tournament phases. For the placement of the teams, the board points were the priority.

The use of an additional player was allowed after Chalabi was eliminated after the second round and later also Tarazi could no longer be used. The team surrendered one point without a fight in seven rounds before the subsequently nominated Salameh was on site. Tarazi and Salameh's balance sheets show three and four defeats without a fight, respectively.
