General, fairly a good day for India however, after all, robust outcomes for males within the Open part.
Hari struck with some excellent opening preparation and appeared to catch Abdusattorov off guard. The younger Uzbek, who beat Fabiano Caruana just a few days in the past was unable to get better, although he tried his finest. That was an important win.
India did put the stress on their rivals at this stage when Vidit drew as properly. A lot relied on Sasikiran, who had some possibilities in a counter-attack. However, the weak point of the e4 pawn spoiled that and Sasi finally misplaced.
Coming to India 2, I’m clearly elated with Gukesh’s profitable opening and particularly his end.
The glowing end, I imply, it’s simply unbelievable how properly he’s enjoying and with what energy and focus he’s enjoying.
Sadly, the remainder of the group sort of fell aside. Raunak, for my part, didn’t select one of the best opening for his personal fashion and really rapidly bought into severe bother that appeared past restore. Since Adhiban additionally misplaced, that settled that match. So very robust for India 2 however like I stated, it’s only one setback and the remaining day (on August 4) to observe. Hopefully, they’ll come again.
India 3, a really convincing win. As quickly as I noticed the place first immediately, I realised India 3 was profitable.
Among the many girls, nice performances by Humpy and Vaishali. It’s good to win that one comfortably.
India 2 was lucky to attract 2-2 towards Czech Republic after Divya Deshmukh, on Board 4, saved the day as all 4 video games ended as attracts.
India 3 received 3-1 towards Australia. Nandhidhaa was placing a variety of stress however finally drew. I’m pleased for Varshini Sahithi and Vishwa Vasnawala for offering the victory margin.
Elsewhere, within the open part Fabiano did an awesome job towards Iran’s Parham Maghsoodloo. It appeared to be equal for a very long time, however in the long run someplace Fabiano outplayed him. In order that clinches it for the US.
Clearly the story of the day could be Armenia. With all three Indian groups on the identical rating, there may be every part to play for after Thursday’s relaxation day.
This dramatic recreation determined the India vs France match
Vaishali had entered this place considering she was profitable, however is now going through the shock of realising she is dropping her rook!



She has the presence of thoughts to relax and realise that Black’s pawns can’t be stopped.

Crucially her bishop controls the important thing sq. on b7, so Black’s b pawn can’t be stopped.

White stops the primary one, however can’t cease the second


White can’t cease each pawns from queening. Draw for Vaishali and win for India on account of Tania’s win!
