Visit the island of Malta in the Mediterranean through Stamps commemorating the Chess Olympiad held there in 1980.
In this episode, I look at the valuable stamp known as the half penny yellow, and the obliterator / killer cancellation. Also the fascinating scenery of Valletta in Malta. We learn about the Chess tournament with famous olympiads Gary Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov.
