46th World Chess Olympiad 2026 (Games and Results)
46th World Chess Olympiad 2026
Mark Crowther - Tuesday 15th September 2026
The 46th World Chess Olympiad takes place Wed 16th to Sun 27th Sep 2026 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The USA, India and hosts Uzbekistan are the top three seeds, India, Georgia, Kazakhstan and China are the top women's seeds.
I will broadcast the top 20 matches live for each of the Open and Women's event.(update every minute) the viewer I use isn't much use for any more, the full compilation file will update every 15 minutes. I hope this file will be the best available with good structure to the PGN and good checking procedures. I won't display it on this page, again the size of the file makes it fairly pointless with this viewer.
