PortoroZ '08
In 1958, Portorož hosted the historic Interzonal tournament. It featured 21 legendary players, including three future World Champions: Tal, Petrosian, and a mere 15-year-old Bobby Fischer, who officially became a Grandmaster right here on the Slovenian coast.
To honor the 50th anniversary of the legendary 1958 Interzonal, the Piran Chess Club organized a commemorative open tournament and an exhibition in 2008. Through an exclusive agreement with the organizers and the local community, we were given the right to make commemorative chessmen bearing the name of this legendary tournament.
We proudly present a special anniversary edition: the Portorož ’08.
