The 2020 FIDE Online Olympiad gets super serious tonight, with the Top Division starting. There are 40 teams broken up into pools of 10 teams, playing a round robin over the next 3 days. The top 3 teams from each pool then go into a knock out, with the winner of each pool going straight into the quarter finals, while teams 2 and 3 play a match against the 3rd and second placed teams from the other pools, to determine to other quarter finalists. The it is a straight knockout until a single winner is determined.
Pool A begins at 6pm this evening (Canberra time), with the next pools starting at 3 hour intervals. You can watch the action at chessbomb, or if you have a chess.com account, then this link should work as well https://go.chess.com/Olympiad-2020-Scores
