On the initiative of the IUS, the 1954 Congress of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) decided to hold, in cooperation with the International Union of Students with its headquarters in Prague, annual student chess team tournaments which would be the official FIDE Student World Championships.

These world championships are extremely popular among students in all countries: very often they are referred to – and in my opinion, quite correctly – as small-scale chess Olympics. They are without doubt among the biggest and most outstanding events organised as part of the International Chess Federation`s activities.

All this was once again confirmed by the XIXth World Student Chess Team Championship held from July 15 to 30, 1972, in Graz, the capital of Stiria in Austria.
