Tania Sachdev guides Indian women's team to victory at Chess Olympiad Comment Share 35-year-old Tania Sachdev beat Zsoka Gaal to help India down Hungary in the fourth round of the Chess Olympiad in Chennai on Monday. (FIDE/Lennart Ootes & Stev Bonhage) Tania Sachdev fought hard as India A recorded a 2.5-1.5 win against Hungary in the women’s section fourth-round match at the 44th Chess Olympiad in Mamallapuram, Chennai on Monday (August 1). After experienced campaigners Koneru Humpy, Dronavalli Harika and R Vaishali ended up with a draw in their respective encounters, Tania Sachdev rose fiercely to the occasion. The 35-year-old Tania outwitted Zsoka Gaal to earn the decisive points as well in the match for the team. “It was a tough position and I was aware that our two boards had ended in a draw. We had a strong opponent and now it is time for us to play stronger teams. I think we need to be ready for the competition. We are looking forward to the next game,” Tania said after the match. Abhijit Kunte, coach of India women’s A team, stressed the need to take one round at a time after the victory. He said: “The teams are well balanced and it is very important to take one round at a time. All the games today were well fought." The 11th seeded Indian women B team also defeated Estonia with a similar 2.5-1.5 score. Teenage sensation Vantika Agrawal, extending her excellent run, clinched the winning point for the team while the other three games ended in draws.

In a Queen’s Gambit Declined game, Gukesh went on a pawn grabbing spree with tactical strokes and pocketed the point after 34 moves when his queen, rook and bishop surrounded his opponent’s king. Second-seeded India A, on the other hand, were held to a 2-2 draw by France with all four boards splitting points. It was a surprising result as India A is considered to be among the hot favorites to win a medal for the country. In another disappointing result, India C lost to Spain by a 1.5-2.5 score.
