Thematic: Chess

Chess thematic stamps, available online with international shipping at Io Collezionista. The issues in this subcategory are dedicated to the world of chess, the celebrated game of strategy whose origins go back to the 6th century AD, the period in which the Indian game Chaturanga was devised, thought to be the probable ancestor of chess and of other games besides. Among the most interesting items are 5 stamps from 1950 (Yugoslavia, complete set) dedicated to the chess championships and a 200 Lire stamp from 1965 (San Marino) for Europa chess. This is only one of the Thematic Stamps subcategories on the site, alongside Transport Thematic Stamps and Theatre Thematic Stamps. The main Stamps category gives a full overview of the Io Collezionista philatelic catalogue.
