Scores in red were carried over from the preliminaries. Tunisia refused to play against Israel and lost 3 to 1 by default. Canada-Iceland ended 3-1, but the judges mistakenly wrote down 2-2. This score became official. South Africa was expelled from the FIDÉ three rounds before the end. Their results were not counted in the official standings. Both Iraq and Algeria refused to play against Rhodesia and their scores were set by default. Why on Earth they didn’t lose by the same amount I cannot tell.

Nicaragua withdrew after one round in the preliminary. Belgium qualified for final B and on match points they would even have qualified for final A. In the end, they finished 30th out of 73. Almost all information I have comes from [1], which has pretty much all one would like to know – except for quite a few games. [2] has two more games. One more was kindly provided by Mr. Nobrega, who maintains the website [3]. Its original source is the tournament bulletin. Here are the round-by-round results.
