50 days remain to the start of the Chess Olympiad 2022. A week ago the Olympiad in Chennai broke records with 187 countries already enrolled. The Arbiters’ Team that will officiate in the 44th Chess Olympiad in Chennai, India 2022, has been selected. Arbiters below have been invited and accepted their nomination. The list is mostly reusing the selection made in 2020 for the aborted Olympiad in Moscow, when a call of interest collected answers from 526 Arbiters from 136 federations and feedback from 101 Federations. 112 Foreign Match Arbiters were selected. Following the 1st FIDE Council 2022, Continents were also consulted and some of their suggestions were used to replace colleagues who withdrew from the team. All information related to the 44th Chess Olympiad 2022 can be found here.
