The Chess Olympiad is a biennial chess tournament in which teams from all over the world compete. The FIDE organises the tournament and selects the host nation. The use of the name "Chess Olympiad" for FIDE's team championship is of historical origin and implies no connection with the Olympic Games. ==Birth of the Olympiad== The first Olympiad was unofficial. For the 1924 Olympics an attempt was made to include chess in the Olympic Games but this failed because of problems with distinguishing between amateur and professional players.〔 〕 While the 1924 Summer Olympics was taking place in Paris, the 1st unofficial Chess Olympiad also took place in Paris. FIDE was formed on Sunday, July 20, 1924, the closing day of the 1st unofficial Chess Olympiad.〔(FIDE History ) by Bill Wall. Retrieved 2 May 2008.〕 FIDE organised the first Official Olympiad in 1927 which took place in London.〔 The Olympiads were occasionally held annually and at irregular intervals until World War II; since 1950 they have been held regularly every two years.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chess Olympiad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
