No words for Arjun but let's not forget that VD has also played all 6 games and has scored 5 out of 6 points. What a boon it is to have such strong player on board 4. As he mentioned it was a blindspot for him in yesterday's game else it would have been 5.5 out of 6. On the other hand, Pragg's game today was excellent. At some point when Arjun and VD were equal it was such a tense moment as Pragg's position was kinda worse. But he showed his class. Gukesh as usual can be relied on day in and day out. Both men and women team are extraordinary.

To all those who disliked the decision for VD on board 4 can shut their mouth now. Delivered when the team needed him. Also, Arjun is a beast🔥

Great play by both Indian teams,
Chat pls stop being creepy about a female player like such

She and hrshtt are already in relationship and u should behave accordingly..

[pacmanever]

Wait you mean Erigasi is not playing board 1 for India? Doesnt he have the highest rating in India? You mean hes playing lower rated GMs in board 3 of other countries??? Magnus & Fabiano etc plays board 1. Are you kidding me?? No wonder hes got 6 straight wins.. against expectedly much lower rated Board 3 or 4 players???And India is supposed to be proud of this strategy just to win the Olympiad???
