Video from the Closing Ceremony of the 2016 World Chess Olympiad in Baku. The video looks nice but the ceremony was terrible for the audience including me. They kept on playing this annoying loud music so we could not hear the names of the players who were being awarded. The room was filled with a smoky blue light plus the audience was seated at a far distance so we could not see clearly either. If you look at the distance shots of the players and the audience you will see the trouble we had. Notice they cut off the music as soon as Kirsan Ilyumzhinov started to speak.
