Interzonal (IZ) legend:-
- 1I : IZ Leningrad
- 2I : IZ Petropolis
GMG notes:-
- Botvinnik, Najdorf, Kashdan and Trifunovic made up the FIDE selection committee..
The FIDE committee selected the players who did not win a zonal spot. Leonid Stein was selected, but passed away a few weeks before, and was replaced by Oscar Panno. Bronstein, the second reservist, made a special appeal to FIDE president Euwe and was allowed to play.Reshevsky was chosen as third reserve by the FIDE selection committee. He seems to have been been given a place to balance the numbers at Petropolis when FIDE president Euwe gave second reservist Bronstein special dispensation to play.- The highly rated Aivars Gipsilis did not play in the zonal, and was passed over by the committee.
