Estupendo site. Ojeo muy a menudo estas noticias

:-) You have a terrific site, I visit often, and use it as a reference for my chess work on wikipedia.org, where I am an editor. I have a question: did Fischer win a car for his best result at the 1970 USSR vs Rest match in Belgrade!? I have heard that he did, but can't find the details anywhere. Perhaps you would know where to find this. Best wishes, Frank Dixon

Congarulations for this GREAT site! You have done an excellent job! Fotis Arbis AEK Athens Chess Club (GRE)

Absolutely gorgeous!! Excellent content, well-presented, highly accurate and precise (all-time) statistics about teams, players and the games. Interesting in general and very helpful if you are looking closer for something special. That's chess economics! (compare eg. the ELO inflation chart) Really great homepage, thanks for your monumental work, especially for also including the often forgotten World Chess Team Championships. I spent the whole night ;-) ...and I'll be back. All the best for you, your family & your team! Best wishes to Poland from Switzerland

Congratulations. I am writing you from Lima, Peru. You really have been worked very hard and you give the world an excellent collection of data. Is it possibly to include games?

Hi, I stumbled on your site. It's great to be able to replay some of my old games. I had quite forgotten some of them. Thanks for taking the considerable effort to exhume these oldies. Renato

Fantastic site. My compliments for all of your hard work putting this together. It was my first visit, but I will be back often!! Happy New Year 2006!!

Many, many thanks for such a well-presented, info-packed, and overall excellent site! Congratulations and best wishes.

Wow, what an amazing website. It is one of the most impressive chess sites on the web today.

Dear colleague! Sorry for bad English. You have a very good site. I see Your site "The History of the Chess Olympiads". I found some inexactitudes and corrections. In Olympiad 1996 in Yerevan. At 14-th round in match 21.Estonia - Denmark 1:3 inexactitude J.Ehlvest - C.Hansen 0 : 1 L.Oll - P.Nielsen ½ : ½ S.Zjukin (not M.Rytshagov) - H.Danielsen ½ : ½ E.Mortensen - V.Zavoronkov 0 : 1 (Bulletin 32 Chess Olympiad, #14, p.17) In Olympiad 1998 Elista. At 2-nd round in match Latvia - Armenia - 1:3 Kengis - Vaganian ½ : ½ (The text of this game incorrectly has taken to game "Asrian - Krivonosov") Lputian - Krakops 1 : 0 Rauzis - Akopian ½ : ½ Asrian - Krivonosov 1 : 0 (The weekly, "Chess in Armenia", 1988y., #44) Besides that personally it was confirmed by K.Asrian (the text of game hasn't been found). If there are any additions, I inform without fail. With respect, chess statist Gagik KHANAMIRIAN From Yerevan.

Quite good site. But... waht about the woman's olympics?

Looking forward to covering women olympiads!

Hey, men!!! Your site is the best !!! I found very interesting information here!!! Today I won my game mainly because I studied some of "interesting games" in your information ! Best regards !!! I like you!!!

It is really a pleasure to see a professional chess page made in Poland. One of my favourite chess books was Olimpiady szachowe by Stanislaw Gawlikowski, so for me this enormous amount of information about chess olimpiads is just fantastic. Keep on with with the good work, Wojtek! :-D :-D Best regards Acmand

Wow!!! Thak you very much, for the wonderful site..

Excellent content very useful for amateurs as well as for professionals.Chess history,player profiles,latest news and results - what more one could wish?! Just continue to expand your most interesting web site! :-)

An excellent site: well organized, accurate and very useful for fans of chess-history. Especially the "Players profiles" are a great source of information.

As an avid fan of chess history, I have visited this site many times to augment my ChessBase data. I have, on more than one occasion, used it to make corrections in my home database. Many thanks for such a useful site.

Wonderful site!!! but why don't include the women's olympiad? I'm eager to see that. Thank u!!!!!!!!

I congratulate you for this excelllent work.

Your site is very interesting and useful. Thank you.

What a very nice idea to start a website like this, and how well it looks! I will surely be back soon. May the server keep running! Best regards, Rob.

CIAO!!! PLAY CHESS! :D

Hi all This is a great resource for finding out about the Chess Olympics, and I was wondering if consideration could be made to also consider online correspondence chess Olympics on the Internet which supports very easily players from a huge number of countries in any time zone to be playing against each other. You can see an example of such a tournament in progress on Play..Inter-country-games after logging in at Chessworld.net This is a huge inter-country Olympia celebration style tournament last August which attracted over 1400 online entries. This year in 2004, promises to be absolutely huge, especially in the light of the fact that the site was recently in the mainstream media on BBC Worldwide news 24 - Chessworld.net aka letsplaychess.com. Best wishes Tryfon Gavriel Challenge me for an online chess game at letsplaychess.com

Hello Olimpbase Team, congratulations for your fantastic page. You did, what I dreamed two years ago. I will support your project as good as I can. Some more informations and contributions in a seperate mail. Best Regards and much success Torsten Warnk

Very impressive! BTW, I was referred to your site by the moderator of Chess Parrot, James Pratt (thanks, Jim!). I will be giving the site a plug in my next column...expect hundreds to swarm! Good luck with the site!

Servus Wojciech! Doskonale OlimpBase! I am very impressed by your fantastic site. I can tell you that almost all games of Stockholm 1937 are saved, as the original score sheets have been found. Together with Peter Holmgren I have just started working on a book on the Stockholm Olympiad. Unfortunately we cannot inform about specific games before the book is published. For the book we would appreciate all information about sources of game annotations (detailed sources; if possible photo copies or scans), especially from foreign newspaper columns.

I like what I have seen and will send you photographs from Olympiads I have attended. Unfortunately, my darkroom will not be accessible for a couple of months, so I do not have access to photographs prior to the Bled Olympiad. However, I will send you a sample of Bled photographs shortly. (I have hundreds, so won't send you all. If you have a specific request, I shall attempt to meet it.) Fraternally, Jerome Bibuld

Wojciech, this is a wonderful website. I thank you for taking on this huge, but important project. The Olympiads are International Chess at it's best, and it is important that we have a complete and up to date record. You are doing a great service for the chess world.

Great idea for a site, best wishes. One suggestion. You could list the sources you have already used, a sort of bibliography. That way people know what you DON'T need, which will save time for potential contributors and for you. For example, I have several old Olympiad books and databases, but you may already have them. Plus, it would be an interesting list and valuable content on its own. A list of all the Olympiad books and bulletins, etc. in different languages would be great. Saludos, Mig

Excellent web-site and fine work... In my site (http://valellis_g.tripod.com) you cant find analysed games for many famous tournament (Greece,Europe etc) and .pgn files for download. Valellis George, chess trainer.

Well done on an excellent web-site. I have some full stats of the Maltese teams fopr a number of years so if you need any reference please feel free to ask. Best wishes and keep it up ! Geoffrey D Borg President Malta Chess Federation

Congratulations for the work done on the site, and best wishes for its future development. I hope to be able to help in any way I can. Regards, Alan McGowan
