Where is the Chess Olympiad being played?
The 44th Chess Olympiad is taking place in the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Mahabalipuram, a town spread along the coast south-east of Chennai, the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The tournament was originally supposed to take place in Minsk, Belarus in 2020, but the pandemic forced a delay and civil unrest in Belarus saw the tournament moved to Moscow. Then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine forced another last-minute switch of venue.
When does the Chess Olympiad start?
The Opening Ceremony of the Chess Olympiad takes place today at around 16:30 IST (13:00 CEST) in the 40,000 capacity Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi opening the event.
