Now it is time for some relax. Check your chess skills and Olympic history knowledge. Perhaps in the future we shall develop our quiz section with more sophisticated tests but today we start with very simple question. The picture on the left illustrates one of most famous, classical Olympic games. Here is full game notation.

Your task is to tell us who commanded White pieces and who played with Black. After no less than 24 hours the correct answer shall be given here. The first person to send correct answer to us (please use the menu bar icon for e-mail) shall be proclaimed The Winner. Sorry, no money, just pride!

The answer is of course Tal-Hecht, Varna 1962. Tal did not move his Queen back and went on for a dazzling win after couple of moves. Our today's winner is Pierre Bourget, a well-know Canadian Olympic expert.

We are pleased to inform the readers, that thanks to Mr. Geoffrey Borg, the President of the Maltese Chess Federation we have expanded Folkestone 1933 Olympiad database by almost 30 games, mainly played by Scottish players. The server has already been updated. Our thanks goes to Malta, and we are looking for more. We are missing yet as much as 4,644 games overall!

We are proud to announce that OlimpBase has become a source of information on the Chess Olympiads' history at 36th Chess Olympiad's Official WWW Site.

This is tremendous incentive for us to be ready with all the 35 Olympiads until 14th October. Judging by your broad response to our queries it should be no problem. Thanks all!

The Spring has come and so did OlimpBase. After many months of hard and arduous work we are proud to present you the complete database of the Chess Olympiads. So far we are missing 1976-2002 period but it is only up to you how quickly will we fill up the blanks.

OlimpBase's rapid growth was contributed by many volunteers from all over the world who provide us with priceless help. We are hoping for more.

With OlimpBase you may do at least the following:

- See past Olympiad Results.
- Read Olympic-related articles.
- Watch all-time statistics.
- Support us (strongly recommended!).
- Join our newsletter, sign the guestbook or discuss at our forum .

Enjoy!
