The '''Chess Olympiad''' is a biennial [[chess tournament]] in which teams representing nations of the world compete. [[FIDE]] organises the tournament and selects the host nation. Amidst the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], FIDE held an Online Chess Olympiad in [[FIDE Online Chess Olympiad 2020|2020]] and [[FIDE Online Chess Olympiad 2021|2021]], with a rapid [[time control]] that affected players' online ratings.

The use of the name "Chess Olympiad" for FIDE's team championship is of historical origin and is not connected to the [[Olympic Games]].{{Not verified in body|date=August 2022}}
