The 35th Chess Olympiad, organized by the Fédération Internationale des Échecs and comprising an open〔Although commonly referred to as the ''men's division'', this section is open to both male and female players.〕 and women's tournament, took place between October 25 and November 11, 2002, in Bled, Slovenia. There were 135 teams in the open event and 90 in the women's event. Both tournament sections were officiated by international arbiter Geurt Gijssen (Netherlands). Teams were paired across the 14 rounds of competition according to the Swiss system. The open division was played over four boards per round, whilst the women's was played over three. In the event of a draw, the tie-break was decided by 1. The Buchholz system; and 2. Match points. The time control for each game permitted each player 90 minutes for all their moves, with an additional 30 seconds increment for each player after each move, beginning with the first. In addition to the overall medal winners, the teams were divided into seeding groups, with the top finishers in each group receiving special prizes. ==Open event== The open division was contested by 135 teams representing 130 nations. Slovenia, as hosts, fielded three teams, whilst the ''International Braille Chess Association'' (IBCA), the ''International Physically Disabled Chess Association'' (IPCA), and the ''International Committee of Silent Chess'' (ICSC) each provided one squad. Sudan were signed up but never arrived. Both reigning world champions, Vladimir Kramnik (classical) and Viswanathan Anand (FIDE), were absent from the tournament.
