Preparations for the 42nd World Chess Olympiad in Baku are powering ahead.
In addition to preparations for the event proper, the Operating
Committee of the Olympiad is taking important steps to promote
chess.
One of such steps has been the launch of chess buses. The Baku
Chess Olympiad Operating Committee has branded two buses of the
Culture and Tourism Ministry in the run-up to the Olympiad and put
them into operation in the capital.
The double-deck buses will take passengers to the best sights of
Baku and promote chess. The buses will operate free of charge.
Those on the bus will have the chance to play chess and obtain
information about the 42nd World Chess Olympiad in Baku.
Attending the launch ceremony of chess buses were the director of the Baku Chess Olympiad Operating Committee, Mahir Mammadov, leading members of the national team, and volunteers. Members of the national team played chess on the bus.
Then the chess buses started their first journey. The chess buses will operate until September 14.
