India is on the cusp of an extraordinary achievement at the 2024 Chess Olympiad, with a real shot at winning gold in both the open and women’s sections. The Indian team has displayed incredible skill and determination throughout the tournament, putting them in prime position for a historic double victory.
In the open section, India requires only a draw in their final match against Slovenia to secure the gold medal. However, the women’s team faces a slightly more challenging scenario. A win in their final round against Azerbaijan is absolutely crucial for their gold medal aspirations.
The tension is palpable as the final round approaches. It’s set to begin at 2:30 PM IST on Sunday, with a unique twist. The schedule has been adjusted to accommodate the closing ceremony, which will commence at 12:30 IST (Monday). This means the final round is starting four hours earlier than previous rounds.
For those eager to witness this thrilling climax of the Chess Olympiad, the live stream will be available on the FIDE YouTube channel. Unfortunately, there has been no official announcement regarding television broadcasting of the event in India.
Whether it’s a draw for the men’s team or a win for the women’s team, India is on the verge of making history. This final round promises to be a nail-biting spectacle, and the anticipation is building as the nation holds its breath in hopes of a triumphant double gold. Don’t miss out on the live action!
