India vs USA Chess LIVE: In penultimate round, India defeated Kazakhstan by a 3.5-0.5 margin to continue to lead the FIDE Women’s Chess Olympiad with 17 match points.

Going into the last round, Poland, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Georgia are tied for second-fifth places with 16 match points.

Because the Open and Women’s leaders are separated by just one match point from their second-place competitors, a high-pressure last round is in the offing in both sections.

Here is how the penultimate day went for Indian Women: In the open section, India 1 beat Iran 2.5-1.-5, riding on Vidit Gujrathi’s win on the second board. It was 2-2 between India 2 and Uzbekistan. The main talking point was D. Gukesh’s first loss in the tournament. It was 2-2 also between India 3 and Slovakia. 

In the women’s section, India 1 beat Kazakhstan 3..5-0.5, India 2 beat Netherlands 3-1 and India 3 defeated Sweden, also 3-1.

FIDE Chess Olympiad FINAL Men’s Results: The 12th-seeded Armenia is currently leading the RACE. Armenia defeated the sixth-seeded Azerbaijan with a convincing 3-1 victory to reach 17 match points.

Dramatic developments in the fifth hour of play enabled the 14th-seeded Uzbekistan to save a 2-2 draw against the 11th-seeded India 2 to join Armenia in lead.

The top-seeded U.S., which defeated 21st-seeded Turkey by a 3-1 margin, and second-seed India, which defeated 13th-seeded Iran by a 2.5-1.5 margin, join India 2 on 16 match points to keep their medal hopes alive.
