Teimur Rajabov will not play for the Azerbaijani team at the World Chess Olympics, which will be held in Indian Chennai from July 29 to August 9.
What is the reason for Rajabov’s non -participation? He starred from the last online tournament of the championship tour in connection with the state of health. Apparently, Teimur did not have time to recover to the Olympics.
Thus, the composition of the Azerbaijani team looks like this: Shakhriyar Mammadyarov, Rauf Mammadov, Gadir Huseynov, Vasif Duhurbeyli, Nijat Abasov.
After Rajabov fell out of the composition, Azerbaijan moved from 2nd place to the 6th in the rating of the participating teams. The favorite is the US team. Russia and China will not take part in the Olympics.
