The Polish team championship in chess in 1962 was the 18th edition of this competition. The Polish team champion was the team from KKSz Kraków, while the defending champion WKSz Legion Warszawa had to be content with third place.
For the preliminary round, 24 teams had qualified in the championships of the voivodeships (six of them did not compete), they played a simple round-robin tournament in three regional groups . The three group winners qualified for the final round, for which the first nine of the Polish team championship in 1961 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 groups were played from November 5 to 9, 1961, the venues were Obrzycko (Group I), the regional cultural center ( Wojewódzki Dom Kultury ) in Koszalin (Group II) and Warszawa (Group III). The final round took place in Wrocław from October 24 to November 4, 1962 .
