The FIDE Online Chess Olympiad 2021 was the second FIDE Online Chess Olympiad, an annual online chess tournament organised by the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) since 2020, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was virtually hosted by China and took place from 20 August to 15 September 2021 on Chess.com's server. Russia finished first and the United States second, while China and India tied for the third place.
Background
In July 2021, the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) announced that the second edition of the Online Chess Olympiad will be inaugurated on 13 August and last until 15 September. National federations intending to take part in the Olympiad confirmed their participation by 31 July and were to choose their top players and juniors to send for the event.[1] The format of the tournament is the same as the first edition, the FIDE Online Chess Olympiad 2020, which was created after the 44th Chess Olympiad was postponed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] [1] The inaugural date was later revised to 20 August.
China, the virtual hosts of the event, sent two teams to the tournament, one from the mainland and the other from Shenzhen, both playing under the Chinese flag. The authorities of Shenzhen, including the Shenzhen Longgang District Culture and Sports Bureau, the Shenzhen MSU-BIT University, Shenzhen Chess Academy and the Shenzhen Pengcheng Chess Club, sponsored the tournament. The Russian e-commerce company Simaland was also a partner.[3] The tournament is broadcast live on FIDE's YouTube channel and on Chess.com.[4]
Participating teams
153 teams are participating, and divided into 4 divisions. The top two teams in each division will advance to the quarter-finals while the other teams play against each other to qualify. The Afghanistan team withdrew from the event following the Taliban takeover of the country.[5] [6] [7]
