    Good rare stamp.
    The 9th Chess Olympiad
    , organized by the FIDE and comprising an open team tournament, as well as several events designed to promote the game of chess, took place between August 20 and September 11, 1950, in Dubrovnik, FPR Yugoslavia (present day Croatia). Eighty-four players from 16 nations played a total of 480 games. The acclaimed 1950 Dubrovnik chess set was designed and manufactured specifically for the Olympiad. Yugoslavia won the first and only Championship on home soil. USA were quite disappointing finishing a little behind the medal zone. Evans' performance was ultimate, Reshevsky was another one to avoid loss in the course of the tournament, but the rest finished in 50-60% zone, far too little for medal chasers.
