@British_Airways It has been 8 days since my family travelled back. 2 bags never showed up yet - whatβs more frustrating is dealing with support where they consistently give inconsistent responses
Day 1: baggage is ready for delivery .
Day 2: baggage is in destination city
Day 3: we have noclue
@British_Airways highly disappointing customer service . Very poor in tracking missing baggages - inconsistent responses and inaction leaving us frustrated.
It's an extremely proud moment for Indian chess. Out of 8 players left at the @FIDE_chess World Cup 2023, four are Indians! A huge congratulations to @DGukesh, @viditchess, @rpragchess and @ArjunErigaisi for their amazing performance!
This is the first time ever in Indian chess history that more than 1 player has qualified to the quarter finals at the World Cup. Wishing all four of them the best for the remaining rounds in Baku.
For the Quarter Finals of the FIDE World Cup 2023 - these are the pairings:
1. Gukesh vs Magnus Carlsen
2. Vidit vs Nijat Abasov
3. Pragg vs Arjun Erigaisi
4. Caruana vs Dominguez
How many Indians do you think will reach the semi-finals?
