Overall: @Kiril Simeonovski: Good article. But, i'm not exactly seeing where it says it was the first chess tournament to feature a torch relay in the source provided. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

  • @Onegreatjoke: It's clearly stated in the first sentence of the "Torch relay" sub-section, which reads A torch relay was held prior to the event, the first for a Chess Olympiad.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:55, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Other sources confirm the hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Kiril Simeonovski, c1 of the supplementary guidelines disallows links to disambiguation pages in hooks. would you prefer to replace the link to "torch relay" with something else? dying (talk) 14:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
@Dying: As we don’t have articles about torch relays, the most sensible option to me was to unlink that term.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 16:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
