On August 20, 2018 the State Committee of Information Technology and Communications of the Kyrgyz Republic puts into circulation a Kyrgyz Express Post postage stamp: “43rd Chess Olympiad”.
Chess is a very popular sport. Millions of people on the planet play this ancient, intellectual game. The World Chess Federation (FIDE), since 1927, organizes official Chess Olympiads. Since 1950, they are held once every two years. Georgia has always been famous for its chess players, so it is not surprising that this country received the honor of hosting the 43rd Chess Olympiad. As in 2016, the team from Kyrgyzstan participates in the Chess Olympiad.
