The 44th Chess Olympiad was an international team chess event organised by FIDE in Chennai, India, from 28 July to 10 August 2022. The Olympiad was initially supposed to take place in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, the host of the Chess World Cup 2019, in August 2020, but it was later moved to Moscow. However, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then relocated to Chennai following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was the first Chess Olympiad to take place in India.Film director/concept: Makro IoannisCinematographer: Sergey MedvedevEditor: Pronichev AlexSound Producer: Afonin AlexExecutive producers: Bukin Dmitrii, Bodenchuk Nina
