The overview of the Chess Olympiad closing ceremony |
The closing ceremony of the 40-th Chess Olympiad which took part in Istanbul, took place on September 9 in the hall of the WOW Hotel, the place that became a warm and friendly house for many participants. It is true that such ceremonies always attract the attention of not only spectators and players but also a wide range of Mass Media.
Mr. Ali Nihat Yazici is among those who have done a lot to make the Turkish chess dream come true. Being not only the Head of the Turkish Chess Federation but also a Vice-President of FIDE he took an active part in the work of Olympiad and FIDE Commissions this year and is now managing the FIDE Chess in Schools Commission. The musical program saw the performance of Sertab Erener, a Turkish pop music singer and a cross-over soprano, best known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with her hit song "Every Way That I Can".
