Chess Olympiad: Double delight for India as they clinch gold medals

India scripted history as they clinched their first-ever gold medal at the Chess Olympiad. Continuing their stunning form in Budapest, it was once again D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi to lead the charge. There was double delight soon as the Indian women’s team also won gold for the country after a dominant 3.5-0.5 victory against Azerbaijan. D Harika was at her technical best, Divya Deshmukh outclassed her opponent and Vantika Agrawal triumphed again.
