Anand Vishwanathan needs to be given credit for encouraging youngsters into the ancient game of chess.❤

Every primary school in India should have a Chess club and Math club. The Soviet Union had a great chess and math culture for children, one worth emulating. Let all children enjoy in these delights. Congratulation to Team India. The hard work has paid off.

Gongratulations India! Both the men and women team have done great job. Keep it up and win more laurels for the country.

Those who haven't represented India in this Olympiad are awesome too with players like Nihal Sarin, Leon luke Mendonca from India are the prodigies to watch out for. 21/22 score by India is a chess olympiad history. Just to put that in context to non-chess followers we played 11 rounds of 2 points each on 4 boards so 44 matches with 1 loss at board, didnt lose a single round as a team won 10 drew 1. That's 97.72 win record at board and 100% as a Team unheard of in chess history. In Open section we had no doubt its one of the strongest team ever by any nation to play including US and Soviets of 1950s-1960s but in Women section our players brought the A game when it mattered the most in final round to get Gold with 19/22 score while kazakhstan women had a fair chance to win Gold but drew with US.

Great👍
They performed great in Budapest. It was exciting and interesting to watch them, with well thought moves they made. Our players were meditating before games, they taught me so much. Anyways
Congratulations champions🏆🏆🏆

The commentator made an error in stating that the men's team won all of their matches. In reality, they had 10 wins and 1 draw. Not that it mattered, they were a full 4 match points ahead of the next team, which is a much more significant way to demonstrate their dominance. They are well equipped to continue their dominance for years to come!
