Special preparation programme for the Arbiters’ Team of the 44th Chess Olympiad

07 Jul, 2022by gprevenasΣκακιστικά νέα

The first session of the special preparation programme for the Arbiters’ Team of the 44th Chess Olympiad 2022 took place on July 3. Almost 200 arbiters from around 100 federation attended the session. A second online session is planned for July 17, before a final preparation day on July 28, at the Olympiad venue, to practice in real conditions.

July 3, 2022, became a historic day for the FIDE Arbiters’ Commission. The vision of the Commission has become a reality: the FIDE ARB is seeking opportunities to leverage the quality of Arbiters and support their growth worldwide, using FIDE Events as a development tool for a better player experience.

With this in mind, a special preparation programme was set up for the Arbiters’ Team of the 44th Chess Olympiad in Chennai. The first session took place on July 3, bringing together almost 200 arbiters from nearly 100 federations. The team was welcomed by the Chief Arbiter and Chairman of the ARB, Laurent Freyd, before the ARB Councilor in charge of World Events Preparation, Omar Salama, introduced the team structure, arbiters’ roles and teamwork expected at the 44th Chess Olympiad.

There was a good interaction during the session, and each of the 12 sectors will now form teams to prepare for the year’s main event together. A second online session is planned for July 17, before a final preparation day on July 28, at the Olympiad venue, to practice in real conditions.

The Arbiters’ Team that will officiate in the 44th Chess Olympiad in Chennai, India 2022, was selected this June. The list of Arbiters 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.
