Look for full details in January. BUENOS AIRES (USCF) - The United States Team finished thiid in the recently completed International Team Championship known as the Chess Olympiad. The Hungarian team upset the heavily favored Soviet team by scoring 37 out of a possible 56. The USSR team was second with % points, and the US team had 35 points for thiid place. The US team had taken first place in the last Olympiad when the USSR and other soviet block countries refused to participate as the tournament was held in Israel.

Final Standings; 1st Place: Hungary (37) - Lajos Portlsch, Zoltan Ribli, Greyla Sax, Istvan Csom, Andreas Adorjan, Laslo Vadasz. 2nd Place: Soviet Union (36) - Boris Spassky, Tlgran Petrosian, Lev Polugaevsky, Boris Gulko, Oleg Homanlshin, Rafael Vaganian, 3rd Place: United 3tates (35) - Lubomir Kavalek (7 -4), Walter Browne (4f-4|), Anatoly Leln (6 -4), Robert Byrne (4-4), James Tarjan (9 |-l-2-), William Lombardy (4 -3), 4th Place: West Germany (33). Viktor Korchnol, despite his exhausting match for the world title which had just been completed, played for Switzerland and was undefeated, scoring 7 wins and 4 draws. World Champion Anatoly Karpov did not play for the Soviet Union team. 1
