In sports, superlatives are frequently overdone. Results for pedestrians can be deemed "great," and the moniker of "GOAT" is bestowed upon every outstanding athlete.
Occasionally, though, a performance emerges that has completely destroyed the opposition and merits all the fanfare and exaggeration it can muster.
That sums up India's performance at the Budapest Chess Olympiad—historic, game-changing double gold medals won by the Open and women's teams.
On Saturday, the Indian Open team virtually secured the gold with one round remaining, whilst the women faced a tough fight. In the eleventh round on Sunday, India overcame Slovenia 3.5-0.5 to earn the gold by two match points in the Open division. While Vidit Gujrathi drew his match, Arjun Erigaisi, D Gukesh, and R Praggnanandhaa recorded victories.
This demonstration of total dominance is proof of India's power and depth. The nation may be creating genetically modified organisms (GMs) on an assembly line, but at most, it is just the beginning.
It is quite the statement to have two players ranked in the top five, five in the top 25 of the live ratings, and now Olympiad champions. of defeating the entire globe. The days of India ruling the chess board are over. It's available now.
