214+[7 ad] pages with frontispiece, diagrams, tables and plates. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 7") bound in original publisher's beige cloth with red lettering to cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The jubilee of 20th anniversary was celebrated in Skopje, today's capital of FYR Macedonia and part of communist Yugoslavia at the time of the event. Soviet's 11th consecutive gold medal had been reached with utmost troubles. They did not reach the score expected on a basis of their ratings. They won three gold medals for individual performance. Hungary were in superb form this time. They overcame their initial rating of 2509 by 50 points with a performance at 2561 level. Although none of them won an individual medal they were very firm and even squad. Yugoslavia, the host nation, won the bronze medals without menace but this hardly may be called good job. They were certainly hoping for more at least after first rounds of the final group. Gligorić fell apart in late rounds of the final and this cost the hosts decisive points. Ivkov, Ljubojević (individual gold) and Matulović were their top scorers. That Czechoslovakia won 4th place was no major surprise but no huge achievement for them as well. Hort went throughout the Olympiad undefeated and all other players but out of form Přibyl did well. Germany lead by Dr. H�bner confirmed their stable position in world's top and Bulgaria who finished 6th were a little bit disappointed with Tringov's poor performance but it cannot be considered bad overall. Holland were lying in 8th and it could be better if not Donner who was in severe slump. USA hurt with absence of top players couldn't get more given they had two untitled, unknown players in reserve and Bisguier was in awful form.� Condition: Corners bumped, old book seller ticket to front pastedown. Jacket with edge wear with some chips and closed tears, corners chipped, rubbing to extremities else very good in like jacket.
