The open event at the 45th Chess Olympiad is being held from 11 to 22 September 2024. It is contested by a record number of 197 teams, representing 195 nations.[1] Hungary, as host nation, fields three teams. A total of 975 players participate in the open event.[2]
Competition format and calendar
[edit]The tournament is being played in a Swiss system format. The time control for all games is 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, after which an additional 30 minutes are granted and increment of 30 seconds per move is applied from the first move. Players are permitted to offer a draw at any time. A total of 11 rounds will be played, and all teams are paired in every round.[3]
In each round, four players from each team face four players from another team; teams are permitted one reserve player who could be substituted between rounds. The four games are played simultaneously on four boards with alternating colours, scoring 1 game point for a win and ½ game point for a draw. The scores from each game are summed together to determine which team will win the round. Winning a round is worth two match points, regardless of the game point margin, while drawing a round is worth one match point. Teams will be ranked in a table based on match points. Tie-breakers for the table are i) the Sonneborn–Berger system; ii) total game points scored; iii) the sum of the match points of the opponents, excluding the lowest one.[3]
The event takes place from 10 to 23 September 2024.[4] Tournament rounds will start on 11 September and will end with the final round on 22 September. All rounds begin at 15:00 CEST (UTC+2:00), except for the final round which will begin at 11:00 CEST (UTC+2:00). There will be one rest day on 17 September, after the sixth round.[5]

Teams and players
[edit]The Open event is being contested by a total of 975 players from 197 teams.[6] It features seven of the top ten players from the FIDE rating list published in September 2024. World no. 2 Hikaru Nakamura decided not to play for a second Olympiad in a row, and Alireza Firouzja will not play for France.[7] United States, India and China are regarded as favourites with all three having an average rating above 2700 points. United States' team, consisting of Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So, Leinier Dominguez, Levon Aronian and Ray Robson as a reserve player, has the highest average rating of 2757.[8] Nevertheless, the team, theoretically, is weaker due to the absence of the top-ranked American player and second-highest rated player in the world Hikaru Nakamura and Hans Niemann.[9] India, whose second team won bronze at the previous Olympiad that the country hosted, has the second highest rating of 2753 with three players from the bronze-winning team. The squad consists of World Chess Championship 2024 challenger Gukesh D on board one followed by Arjun Erigaisi, R Praggnanandhaa, Vidit Gujrathi and Pentala Harikrishna.[10] Former five-time World Champion Vishwanathan Anand decided to step aside for the younger generation and will be the only of India's top-rated players who will not play.[9] China have the third highest average rating of 2727 with led by the reigning World Champion Ding Liren, followed by Wei Yi, Yu Yangyi, Bu Xiangzhi and Wang Yue.[11][9]
The defending champions Uzbekistan are the fourth seeds. They will be captained by former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik and will field the same line-up that won the gold medal in 2022, which includes Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Javokhir Sindarov, Nodirbek Yakubboev, Shamsiddin Vokhidov and Jakhongir Vakhidov.[12][13] Former five-time World Champion and current world no. one Magnus Carlsen is playing on top board for the sixth-seeded team of Norway.[9] Hungary's first team has the ninth highest pre-tournament average rating and is stronger for Richard Rapport, who returned to play for his native country three months before the Olympiad and Peter Leko.[14] Other strong contenders include Poland, Netherlands and England (strengthened by Nikita Vitiugov).[12]

The favourites proved their superiority in the first round, with a total of 56 teams scoring maximum wins. Of the top-seeded teams, India, China and Netherlands swept their opponents, whereas the United States, Uzbekistan and Norway conceded a half point.[15][16] The Uzbek team had a challenging start with two dubious positions against their opponents from Trinidad and Tobago, in which Shamsiddin Vokhidov playing as White on board three squeezed out a win over Kevin Cupid, while Nodirbek Yakubboev narrowly escaped a lost position against Quinn Cabralis with the Black pieces on board two and settled for a draw.[15][16] The top-seeded American team scored a 3½–½ victory against Panama thanks to wins by Leinier Domínguez, Levon Aronian and Ray Robson, while Wesley So drew his game on the top board with Panama's top player Roberto Carlos Sanchez Alvarez.[15][16] Aronian played an overly optimistic line with the Black pieces in a Sicilian Defence and went into trouble after 13 moves, but found out a way to complicate things and went on to outplay his opponent in a double-rook endgame.[17][18]
The biggest individual upset was perhaps Shakhriyar Mamedyarov's draw against his 17-year-old untitled opponent Anas Khwaira from Jordan. Mamedyarov playing as Black found himself in a difficult position with an exchange down after his opponent had made a great maneouvre (see diagram). White had a clear advantage in the ensuing position, but Anas Khwaira agreed to a draw after 49 moves.[17][19] Arjun Erigaisi also played a troublesome position after he had sacrificed a piece, but eventually managed to get victorious out of the complications. Anish Giri wringed water from a stone to score a win in the longest game of the day.[18] World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen, World Champion Ding Liren, Fabiano Caruana and Gukesh D rested in this round.[18]

In the second round, most of the top-seeded teams scored their second match victories, with India, Slovenia and Georgia being the only teams with individual wins on all boards after two rounds.[20] Fabiano Caruana made his debut at the tournament and scored the first win in the match between the United States and Singapore, which ended in a 4–0 victory for the American team, despite concerns raised by Caruana about the games of his team mates. He commented:
At the moment, Levon is struggling. His game today is very dangerous for him, and we can’t really afford to lose a game. We’re playing a solid team, and they are probably going to make two draws with the white pieces.[21]
Other players who appeared on the board for the first time include World Champion Ding Liren who drew his game on the top board against Chilean grandmaster Cristobal Henriquez Villagra, World Champion challenger Gukesh D who developed a kingside attack and benefited from a mistake by the Icelandic grandmaster Vignir Vatnar Stefansson to score his first win, and Richard Rapport who won a 30-move game over Peruvian grandmaster Jorge Cori.[22][21]
Uzbekistan scored a convincing 3½–½ victory over Egypt in which Javokhir Sindarov was held to a draw by Hamed Wafa. Netherlands narrowly defeated Belgium 2½–1½ with two draws on the lower boards.[21] There were also a few upsets in this round as Norway, Czech Republic, Israel and Greece drew against Canada, Mongolia, Ireland and Tajikistan, respectively. Norway and Canada played a match with four decisive results—all wins for the players with the White pieces. The decision to rest Magnus Carlsen for one more round cost the Norwegian team a match point as his replacement on the top board Johan-Sebastian Christiansen suffered a loss to Shawn Rodrigue-Lemieux after blundering in a drawn queen endgame (see diagram).[20][23] Later on, it was revealed that the real reason for Carlsen's absence was that he was playing a secret match against Hikaru Nakamura.[22] Israel and Ireland also played a match with four decisive games. Maxim Rodshtein as Black on board one and Ilia Smirin as White on the fourth board scored wins for Israel, while Tarun Kanyamarala as Black on the second board and Tom O'Gorman as White on the third board won for Ireland.[24][20]

The four teams with the highest pre-tournament average rating—United States, India, China and Uzbekistan—scored their third victories.[25] United States convincingly defeated Bulgaria 3½–½ thanks to the wins by Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So and Levon Aronian. Caruana played a long game against Ivan Cheparinov, which finally managed to convert when both players were playing on the incremental 30 seconds.[26] India dropped the first half point in the tournament after Vidit Gujrathi had drawn, but they beat Hungary B thanks to victories scored by Gukesh D, Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu and Arjun Erigaisi. Erigaisi's win over Péter Prohászka with a queen sacrifice and checkmate (see diagram) was his third out of three games played.[25][27] China beat Slovenia 3–1 even though Ding Liren failed to score a win again and drew against Vladimir Fedoseev, while Uzbekistan snatched a 3½–½ victory over Croatia.[28][26]
However, there are several upsets in this round, with two of the top favourites suffering losses. Netherlands as fifth seeds lost to Italy 3–1 in a match wherein Lorenzo Lodici, Francesco Sonis and Sabino Brunello scored full points against Anish Giri, Max Warmerdam and Erwin l'Ami, respectively. Jorden Van Foreest won the only game for the Dutch team by defeating Luca Moroni. The seventh-seeded German team was narrowly beaten by Lithuania after Alexander Donchenko blundered a winning position against Valery Kazakouski.[28] In the other matches involving strong teams with surprising results, France and Romania were defeated with a 2½–1½ scoreline by Montenegro and Sweden, respectively; England played a 2–2 tie with Denmark and so did Iran with Georgia.[25]
Magnus Carlsen played his first game in the tournament and contributed to Norway's 3½–½ victory over Colombia by defeating Roberto Garcia Pantoja with the Black pieces. He arrived ten minutes late as he had been travelling by bike in the rain, rushing to the venue and getting confused about the entrance. Following the game, he commented:
It was a bit of a mess. I am in a different hotel from the others, so they were supposed to pick me up. Then, they suddenly told me that traffic was horrible and they would be at my hotel at five to three. At that point, I thought I couldn’t get there in time by car, so I decided biking might be faster.[28]

A total of eight teams scored their fourth match victory in this round. Ukraine and Vietnam produced the main upsets with their victories over the top-seeded team of the United States and the defending champions from Uzbekistan, respectively.[29] Ukraine narrowly defeated the United States 2½–1½. Fabiano Caruana scored the first win in the match after beating Andrei Volokitin on board one, while Leinier Domínguez and Ruslan Ponomariov drew on board three.[30] Wesley So had a better position as Black against Vasyl Ivanchuk on board two, but blundered on the 44th move to enable his opponent create a mating net (see diagram).[31] On the fourth board, Anton Korobov gained an early advantage after Ray Robson pushed his d-pawn instead of castling on move 13. Korobov went on two exchanges up and gave one back to score a win, which proved decisive for the final outcome in the match.[32][33] Vietnam scored a 3–1 victory against Uzbekistan thanks to wins by Lê Tuấn Minh and Nguyễn Ngọc Trường Sơn over Javokhir Sindarov and Nodirbek Yakubboev, respectively. The games between Lê Quang Liêm and Nodirbek Abdusattorov as well as Trần Tuấn Minh and Jakhongir Vakhidov ended in a draw.[32]
The other favourites did not have problems. India scored a big 3½–½ victory against Serbia in a match wherein Arjun Erigaisi moved to 4 wins out of 4 games. The Indian team has conceded only two draws after four rounds and have a cumulative score of 15 out of 16 from the individual boards.[29][32] China edged out Armenia 2½–1½ thanks to Yu Yangyi's win against Gabriel Sargissian on board three, whereas Ding Liren drew another game on the top board.[33][30] In the other matches, host nation Hungary and Poland narrowly defeated Italy and Lithuania, respectively, with a 2½–1½ scoreline, Azerbaijan beat Montenegro 3–1 and Spain conceded only one draw in their 3½–½ victory over Sweden.[32] England managed to tie with Georgia thanks to David Howell's 113-move win against Nikolozi Kacharava, which cancelled Baadur Jobava's win over Luke McShane earlier in the match.[33]

The only teams that extended their winning streak and scored the fifth match victories are the pre-tournament favourites India, China and Hungary as well as Vietnam.[34] India defeated Azerbaijan 3–1 with two wins and two draws. Gukesh D and Arjun Erigaisi won their games against Aydin Suleymanli and Rauf Mamedov, respectively. It was Erigaisi's fifth win in the tournament.[35] Vidit Gujrathi was close to winning against Shakhriyar Mamedyarov but missed his chance.[36] China edged out Spain 2½–1½ with three draws, including the game between Alexei Shirov Ding Liren in which the World Champion escaped from a potentially dangerous position as Black, and one win scored by Wei Yi against David Antón Guijarro on the second board.[35][34] Hungary beat Ukraine with the same scoreline as China in a match with only one win scored by Richard Rapport over Vasyl Ivanchuk with the Black pieces. Ivanchuk involuntarily marched with his king to the centre and the game entered wild complications that put him in trouble (see diagram).[35][36][37]
Vietnam scored a minimal 2½–1½ victory over Poland thanks to the wins by Nguyễn Ngọc Trường Sơn and Lê Tuấn Minh over Radosław Wojtaszek and Mateusz Bartel, respectively.[36][38] Norway defeated Turkey 3–1 with wins on the lower boards by Aryan Tari and Frode Urkedal, whereas the games on the first two boards ended in a draw.[38] Mustafa Yılmaz had a big advantage in the middlegame against Magnus Carlsen after bringing him into complications, but his edge fully disappeared after a couple of inaccurate moves. England defeated Australia 2½–1½ with wins by Michael Adams and Gawain Jones, but an interesting moment happened in David Howell's loss to Bobby Cheng in which the Australian had to underpromote to a knight in order to avoid stalemate. In the other matches, defending champions Uzbekistan bounced back and convincingly defeated Moldova 3½–½, while the top-seeded United States beat Argentina 3–1.[35]

India remained the only perfect score after six rounds after achieving a 3–1 victory over Hungary. Arjun Erigaisi extended his winning streak to 6 out of 6 games following his victory against Sanan Sjugirov in a game wherein he sacrificed a pawn in the opening to gain big advantage that he managed to convert with precise play in the middlegame and endgame.[39] Vidit Gujrathi scored the second triumph in the match, while the other games ended peacefully.[40] Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu was the only Indian player under pressure in the match, but he finally held a draw against Peter Leko.[39] China and Vietnam exchanged one win per side to split the points. Wang Yue won a full point for the Chinese team with his victory over Trần Tuấn Minh on the lowest board, whereas Lê Quang Liêm levelled the score after beating Ding Liren.[40] The World Champion was a pawn down in a drawn endgame, but committed a decisive mistake that costed his team the match victory (see diagram).[39][41] Following the game, Liêm commented:
This is the first time that after the first half of the tournament, we are among the leaders,” commented Liem on the official broadcast... I am very happy with the result and proud of my teammates. We are playing fantastically this time. Coming into this tournament, we had no expectations. We were initially ranked #21. We have never been this close to the medals before. We will enjoy the games and see what happens.[40]
Iran saw Norway off in a close match with only one victory by Pouya Idani over Frode Urkedal on the fourth board.[40] Magnus Carlsen gained a significant space advantage in the middlegame of his game in the Caro–Kann Defence against Parham Maghsoodloo, but the Iranian got a dynamic counterplay to equalise the position and draw in 87 moves.[39] Uzbekistan played a tough match against Israel in which Javokhir Sindarov blundered and lost to Tamir Nabaty, but the Uzbek team snatched the match victory thanks to wins by Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Nodirbek Yakubboev.[40] In the other matches, Romania and the United States tied with four draws. Austria held Poland to a draw thanks to Valentin Dragnev's win over Jan-Krzysztof Duda with a queen sacrifice. Lithuania and Georgia upset Azerbaijan and Spain, respectively, with 2½–1½ victories.[42]
