The deadline for receiving applications for teams to participate in the World Chess Olympiad, which will be held in Budapest from September 10 to 23, is approaching.
As Idman.biz reports, there are four days left until the registration window closes.
The deadline for sending applications is July 19. Thus, at the end of the week, the exact number of participating teams and chess players will be known.
