India's chess supremacy: double gold at the Olympiad
Indian chess fans are bursting with pride as both the men's and women's teams achieve a historic double victory at the Chess Olympiad in Budapest. It was a thrilling finish, with Gukesh, Arjun, and Divya once again shining as the stars of the show.
The men's team sealed the deal with a dominant 3-0 win against Slovenia, showcasing their unwavering skill and determination. Gukesh's strategic brilliance against Vladimir Fedoseev and Arjun's tactical mastery against Jan Subelj were particularly impressive. Praggnanandhaa also added to the tally with a stunning victory, securing India's first-ever gold in the open category.
The women's team also made history, claiming the top spot after a commanding 3.5-0.5 win against Azerbaijan. Harika Dronavalli's technical prowess on the top board and Divya Deshmukh's consistent brilliance throughout the tournament played a pivotal role in their success.
This double gold triumph is a testament to the incredible rise of Indian chess. This year has already seen remarkable achievements, including three Indian players qualifying for the Candidates tournament and Gukesh's historic win. Now, with two gold medals at the Olympiad, India's chess prowess is undeniable.
The future looks even brighter, with Gukesh poised to challenge for the world championship title in December. India's chess prodigies are rewriting the rules, and the world is taking notice.
