42nd Chess Olympiad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 42nd Chess Olympiad, organized by FIDE, will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan^[1] in 2016. There were two other cities bidding to host the event – Albena in Bulgaria and Tallinn in Estonia. Both cities did not make presentations before the voting and were not approved.
The delegation of Armenia declared that participation of the Armenian chess players will be in that case impossible. Despite a protest of triple winners of the chess Olympic Games, due to the lack of other candidates for carrying out competition in 2016, the candidate of Baku was accepted.
