  offramp: Chessbase India posted a video of the opening ceremony.

https://youtu.be/OsuBjWzFQa8?si=RDX...

The playing hall is called the <Sharjah Chess and Culture Club>. Or perhaps it is two separate things: <Sharjah Chess> and <Culture Club>.

A gentleman on the stage bashed out a merry old jingle on the Arabian mandolin (not the kitchen gadget). I think he was singing <New York, New York>.

The players were mainly men, but there were a lot of women and <NONE> of them wear anything on their heads.

The video is about 6 minutes long.

  Atterdag: Thanks for this highly entertaining footage, <offramp>. Perhaps its a bit cruel to laugh at this, but the show was a burlesque performance of what a prejudicial mind would have expected.

The lonely, completely unnoticed mandolin player, the arrival of the white-dressed guard of dignitaries wandering around like ghosts, pushing a first pawn-move at two boards, the latter of which symbolically had a young western-looking female with the white pieces.

The camera tried desperately to catch an opening atmosphere, but there was hardly a speech, and the players seemed to be solely concentrated on their first game. Nice room, though, and the white hosts conducted their performance extremely quiet and discreet.

Giri and Abdusattorov were for me the only recognizable players. May they succeed.
