The 30th Chess Olympiad took place from June 7th to 25th, 1992 in Manila , Philippines . It was organized by FIDE and consisted of an open team competition and one specifically for women. In addition, various attractions took place to make chess known.

background

The game was played in the Philippine International Convention Center . 102 teams with a total of 617 players took part, including 117 Grand Masters , 146 International Masters and 38 FIDE Masters . Each team played on 4 boards in the Swiss system , so that teams with equal points competed against each other. Time controls were after 2 hours for the first 40 trains, then one hour for 20 more trains.

At this Olympiad, 12 different teams from the successor states of the Soviet Union competed for the first time . The dissolution of the previous Yugoslav state led to teams from Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina competing independently for the first time. In addition, South Africa returned to the group of participants after its suspension in 1974 . The event was the international breakthrough for the later world chess champion Wladimir Kramnik . At that time he only had the title of FIDE champion, but was appointed to the Russian team on the recommendation of Garry Kasparov and achieved a sensational result of 8.5 points from 9 games on the first reserve board, which corresponds to an Elo performance of 2958.
