The Polish team championship in chess in 1968 was the 24th staging of this competition. The Polish team champion was the team of KS Maraton Warszawa, which relegated the defending champion WKSz Legion Warszawa to second place.
The most successful teams in the championships of the voivodeships had qualified for the preliminary round ; they each played a simple round-robin tournament in three regional groups . The first two of all three groups qualified for the finals, for which the first six of the finals of the Polish team championship in 1967 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 venues
Group I of the preliminary round was held in Koszalin from May 20 to 26, and Group II was held in Lublin . The venue and date of Group III are not known. The final round was held from November 16 to 26 at the Palace of Culture ( Pałac Kultury ) in Poznań .
