The Polish team championship in chess in 1960 was the 16th edition of this competition. The team of WKSz Legion Warszawa became the Polish team champion. A large part of the team had played for the defending champion KKS Polonia Warszawa last year, who was not at the start due to the dissolution of the club.
Eighteen teams had qualified for the preliminary round in the championships of the voivodeships , each of which played a simple round-robin tournament in four regional groups . The four group winners qualified for the final round, for which the teams in places 2 to 9 of the Polish team championship in 1959 were also pre- qualified . The number of points on the board (one point for a win, half a point for a draw, no point for a defeat), then the number of team points (two points for a win, one point for a draw, no point) decided the placement for defeat). The team was eight boards, with a youngster on the seventh board and a woman on the eighth board.
Dates and venue
The regional opening acts were played from October 15 to 23, 1959, the venues were Łódź (north), Białystok (east), Kraków (south) and Szczecin (west). The final round took place from September 11th to 18th, 1960 in the NOT hall in Wrocław .
