Israel in the Finals


Source: see below

The same volume of Shachmat mentioned in the previous post had, following the article about Israeli chess history, also a short article reprinted from the Jerusalem Post about Israeli in the 1964 Olympiad's finals (pp. 29-28, again in reverse order). 

It is a rather interesting article - as typical of the period, having little to do with chess itself, and much more with the relation of chess to education, Jews in general, a cure for the "dismal performance" of Israeli athletes in physical sports, and so on. Again, as in the previous post, the name of the player - Zadok Domnitz - was printed in Hebrew.
