Guernsey play Venezuela at the Haifa Olympiad 1976 in the 11th round. The amusing story is that C Sanchez playing Eugene Lainé of Guernsey on board 4, in the foreground, had asked Eugene where Guernsey was before their game as he'd never heard of it. Eugene replied "we are famous for Victor Hugo". The venezuelan replied "and what board is he on".
