About This Item
488 pages with diagrams, tables and illustrations. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/2") issued in wrappers with a protective cover. First edition.
16th Olympiad was the first ever to be held in Asia; it also attracted a new record number of participants. The chosen representatives of fifty countries entered for the event, among them a team from the green continent, Australia. Thus for the first time in the history of the Chess Olympiads players from all five continents were able to take part in a world gathering. As many as 294 players took part, among them more then 70 titled players. This was first Olympiad to be held as late as in November because of specific Israeli climate, with high temperatures even during autumn months. Lovely beaches nearby, very good organization and perfect air-conditioning inside luxurious halls of Sheraton assured great conditions of play. Because of growing number of participants the teams were divided into six groups of 7, and one group of 8. Only two top teams of each group were to qualify into the main final. There were four final sections this time, three comprised of 14 teams and the bottom one with just 8 nations on the start line.
Condition:
Paper cover wrapper rubbed. A very good set of the bulletins.
