What was the ICF's own view of the history of chess in Israel? A potted history - in English - was found on pp. 31-29 of Shachmat, November 1964 (vol. 3, no. 4). The page numbers are reversed - 31 being the first page of the article - since this history is in the English language section of the magazine, written from left to right, while the rest of the magazine is in Hebrew, from right to left...
Typical of the era was the fact that there were a few "screw ups": the pictures, of Porat, Aloni, and Kraidman (in order) had the names of the players in tyhe photo in Hebrew, not in English, and - incidentally - the November 1964 volume itself has the date "October 1964" by mistake on the front cover.
