The tables show the line-up of the teams at the 1972 Chess Olympiad in Skopje . The 63 participating teams initially played in eight preliminary round groups. From these preliminary rounds two teams came into each of the final tournaments A to C, the remaining teams into the D final. 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.
Results from the preliminary rounds were not carried over to the final. The teams from the same preliminary group met again there.
Results of the Albanian team
The team from Albania reached the B final. There she should have met Israel in the eighth round, but refused to play because of political reservations. After that, the Albanians initially continued the tournament, but withdrew completely after 11 rounds of the final group. The results of the completed games were completely canceled. Proceed as follows in the following tables:
For the Albanian team, the regular matches played in the final (excluding the defeat against Israel without a fight) are included in the individual balance sheet of the players.
In the team's balance sheet, the results of the final round (excluding the defeat against Israel without a fight) are given. A placement was not determined.
For the other participants in the B-final, the game against Albania is not taken into account, as the competitions have been canceled.
The outcome of these games is explained in a text note.
