Believe it or not, the Chess Olympiad is said to be the fourth sporting event in the world. Amazing !
This great event - the 41st this year - is about to start, in Tromsø , in the land of the world champion, Magnus Carlsen, from 1st to 14th of august.
The event will be officially covered by chess24.com. For the occasion, they’ve made a great internet site, one of the best I’ve ever seen for a chess tournament !
Some interesting stats:
174 countries
1800 players
250 journalists
estimated online visitors 100.000.000 (!!)
11 rounds (90 min/40 and 30 min until the end of the game / bonus 30s per move)
