Does anyone know the draw for the Chess Olympiad, or how this works? I assume it is a Swiss style tournament, where top rated teams play lower rated teams in the first round, and they then move up or down, depending on each team's results?
I'm wondering what sort of matches we will see. Given that Carlsen is in a relatively weak team overall, it's likely he will face quite a few weak opponents.
Hopefully we'll see some great match ups. Looking forward to the event!
