The Chess Olympiad 2024 is going to take place in Budapest, Hungary from 10 to 23 September 2024. It is the world’s largest team event and will have a record breaking participation.
While everyone expects the opening ceremony, the live performance of the official song or their favorite teams performance, not everything is going smooth for the organizers and FIDE. Since the beginning of August, many federations and delegations have raised their voice about difficulties with accommodation, unexpected extra costs incurred, and visa problems. What started as a local problem for the organizers is turning into a serious issue for FIDE and the image of chess, as with less than two weeks remaining to the start of the Chess Olympiad problems are getting from bad to worse.
