CHENNAI: A record total of 30 Indian players across six teams (three in open and three women) will be participating at the Chess Olympiad, scheduled to be held from July 28 to August 10 in Chennai.
Each team will have 5 members out of which four will be fielded in each round. The Captain of the Team, in most cases non-playing, will decide the team composition. The Olympiad will be a 11 Round Swiss League event. The host countries can field two teams but India could field one additional team in both the categories as the total number of teams were odd.
