The Alchemy of Indian Chess…
In chemistry, Silver is a true noble metal, and Bronze is an alloy forged by bringing elements together.
Honestly, what a fitting metaphor for how our teams played.
Open Team - Silver
Women’s Team - Bronze
Backing up a double-gold performance at the last Olympiad with another double podium at this edition shows real depth.
It’s proof that India’s chess ecosystem is strongly consistent and just keeps producing world-class talent year after year.
Massive congrats to both teams on keeping us at the top! 🇮🇳✨
