What is missing?

Youth U26 World Team Championship

Detailed coverage is provided only for 5 of 11 editions of this interesting event. We cannot leave it unfinished! Since no books on those events were written we must solely base on the bulletins. If you owe those or know people who might have them (usually team captains, officials, organizers etc.) please drop us a note.

Mexico City 1978

  • Games need to be retyped from the bulletin! OlimpBase received complete set of bulletins from the event, but unfortunately very few games are covered by MegaBase. This is why in order to be available at olimpbase.org games have to be rewritten *by hand* from the bulletin (the quality of the print is too bad to use OCR). I have no time to complete this task which is not essential since pure results are available. If you have some idle time and you with to contribute than this is a job for you! The bulletin is available as PDF
  • Qualifying group 4, round 1 ENG-JAM: the bulletin gives the following (obviously wrong) pairing at board #2 "Speelman vs Caro-Kann" (sic!) It is assumed that player with black was neither Caro nor Kann (both dead for a long time) but Mark Cameron.
  • Qualifying group 2, round 3 LUX-ECU: board order for Luxembourg is wrong. Two Webers (who were top two boards) have both Black pieces, which is impossible sinve they only could be fielded at boards #1 and #2 (this having pieces of opposite colours).
  • No information on board prizes.
