Team line-ups for the 1976 Chess Olympiad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tables show the line-up of the teams at the 1976 Chess Olympiad in Haifa . 48 teams took part in the Olympics because it was boycotted by the countries of the Eastern Bloc and other, mainly Arab countries, because it was being held in Israel. For the first time, the Chess Olympiad was held entirely in the Swiss system . 13 rounds were played. The scoring was primarily based on board and then team points. If both criteria were the same, the ranking was based on the Buchholz rating . Each team consisted of four regular players and a maximum of two substitute players.
