Status ?[edit]
The article states "This was the first Chess Olympiad to take place online, due to the ongoing..." but is it really considered the chess olympiad?? According to this source FIDE postponed the chess Olympiad to 2021. What is the status of this competition then, where does it fit? One off or sth else ? 31.217.30.234 (talk) 14:16, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- FIDE has been (deliberately?) ambiguous on this point. As they presented the tournament they called it "a new event", however they never explicitly stated that this competition had a different status than the "real" Olympiad. For a definitive categorization one will have to wait some official words (e.g. the number assigned to the 2021 edition) or reliable sources. My personal opinion is that this thing should never have been called "Olympiad" to begin with. Gengis Gat (talk) 17:41, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- OK, yesterday Dvorkovich (FIDE President) clarified: [1]
- > I don't think we should consider the two Olympiads as completely the same, put them in the same line. I think the Online Olympiad is really important, it's a big event, but it's just not the same and we should all understand that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gengis Gat (talk • contribs) 08:09, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
But where are the results? What was the competition format? The only results in the article are the cancellation of the final match and winner of some special prize. Or is this only info from the tournament? I looked 43rd Chess Olympiad article and started to wonder. 46.132.78.122 (talk) 12:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
