@Rajiv1841@vikrantgupta73 I think vaibhav should be given some chances in between. The top3 can rotate to sit out as needed.
We anyways have way too many t20 games and this is the chance to groom a youngster.
@DeveshsK_ I don't think it's right to say he is afraid of losing rating IRL.
He has done well as a chess streamer and doesn't need to push much on the IRL events.
It's a priority - he also has family now so why spend time travelling to locations when he can be so successful from home.
@biophilo Raw numbers do not do justice.
From my understanding this includes the 2024 olympiad.
Divya was gold medalist on the board, which further helped womens team win gold. And, then she won the World cup which is one of the biggest FIDE events.
So, I think its fair.
@Cric46966 Stop associating their personal and professional life.
Have some shame when you put down you own athletes like this.
And please go search for the meaning of fluke - you need to be educated and given some common sense.
@maheshsbhagat_@ChessbaseIndia@vantikachess@savithachess The top 2 boards also face much stronger players - so its a very different game.
Full kudos to vantika and savitha too.
But, both divya and humpy are getting board medals too so they were quite good, but not the best.
@Ankiii_i We lost control a while back to be honest. I don't think we were really in the contention for gold in the last few rounds.
India uzbek match was in our hands, and that would be my biggest heartbreak given we were completely winning.
@Harryputtar98 We might still get silver anyways. So, wouldn't make a difference in today's match.
The nihal loss against uzbek turned out to be the toughest one.
