1960.08.06-13. Round Robin 13 rounds. 13 players.

When Baris Hutagalung was in his element, no body could stop him. Not Max Arie Wotulo, not Arovah Bachtiar, and not everyone else. Baris came out as the convincing winner in the 6th Indonesia National Championship 1960. He collected a massive 10 VP from 12 games for the first place. The runner-ups were Max and Merlep Ginting with 9 VP. Arovah and the defending champion Abubakar Baswedan were in the next order with 8 VP each. Both Max and Arovah had a better SB (Sonneborn Berger) than those of Merlep and Abubakar.

The event welcomed the then chairman of Percasi (All Indonesia Chess Federation), Ds FKN Harahap, as one of the participants. This was the only national championship to have that privilege to date. At that time many Percasi officials were also an accomplished chess players beside Harahap, i.e. Dame Panggabean, Max Arie Wotulo, GS Pandjaitan etc.

This was the last time Baris won a national championship. Very sad knowing that in the next few years Baris left chess for good to play bridge. As a success became his habit, he quickly gained recognition in this field and became a member of Indonesian national bridge team.

Without a shadow of a doubt Baris M Hutagalung has been the most dominant Indonesian chess player during 1950-60.
