31st Chess Olympiad

The 31st Chess Olympiad (Russian: 31-я Шахматная олимпиада, 31-ya Shakhmatnaya olimpiada), organized by FIDE and comprising an open[1] and a women's tournament, took place between November 30 and December 17, 1994, in Moscow, Russia.

The Russian team retained their title, captained by PCA world champion Kasparov.

Due to a dispute with the national federation, FIDE champion Anatoly Karpov was not present.

A strong performance from Bosnia-Herzegovina, led by Nikolić, earned them the silver, while the Russian "B" team of juniors, somewhat surprisingly, took the bronze—the first and only time that the same nation has occupied more than one medal rank.

Meanwhile, little sister Judit played first board for the Hungarian team in the open event - the first woman to do so.
