I dont know why everyone is acting like ots the end of the world, we are still tied for first and chance of gold is pretty realistic.
Doesn't matter if they lost today tomorrow they will strike back.

[@Value_Pilgrim]

If Vaishali had drawn we would have won.
Something went wrong with Vaishali and Pragg...maybe they had a fight or something at home and were in a bad state of mind.

Humpy ki kami khal rahi hai iss bar ,board 1 main harika 3 game haar chuki hai 😔😔😔

[@bhikumhatre2368]

Harika is just having bad phase otherwise she is considered to be solid team player as she is known for getting easy draws with black

[@anjunnshirgaaokar9464]

Why are they playing Harika? She always makes games worse even from good position. She can't convert chances, she can't hold for a draw. Yesterday Pragg from losing position made it a draw.
Even Divya and Vantika saved them so many times who are IM and lower rated players. Let Tania play on 1st board and tell her to draw.
All depends on how much you wants to win and whats your preparation. Everyone was considering Pragg better player then Gukesh but see what's happening. Gukesh is super focused to win and Pragg just draws the game and leaves. All pressure comes on other 3 players. But for open it work because Gukesh won't lose, Arjun is hard to beat and Vidit is also playing for win. So Pragg gets away with draw. In female section you need player who wants to win. Put Tania/Divya on board 1. Atleast they will draw.
Chinese women won last 2 matches 4-0.

In the last Chennai olympiad Poland defeated India, India had to content with the Bronze

[@kavinshah9920]
