Georgi Petrov Tringov[1][2][3] (Bulgarian: Георги Пеев Трингов)[4][5] (7 March 1937 – 2 July 2000) was a Grandmaster of chess from Bulgaria.

Tringov had numerous successes in international tournaments to his credit, including first place at Vrsac 1973.

In the fourth round of Final Group A, the Bulgarian and Soviet Union teams met.

At this Olympiad, sealed moves were written on a separate piece of paper, not the player's score sheet.

Oleg Neikirch, who was serving as Bulgarian team captain, instituted protest proceedings but an arbitration committee upheld the arbiter's ruling.
