India's Double Triumph In Chess Olympiad Was Not Much Of A Surprise: Vishy Anand
Anand has represented India in the Olympiad on many occasions in his three-decade-long career being part of strong teams in the 1990s with Pravin Thipsay and Dibyendu Barua and later in the 2000s with the likes of P. Harikrishna, Krishnan Sasikiran, Abhijit Kunte. The best finish by a team including Anand at the Olympiad came in 2004 in Clavia, Spain when the Indian team finished sixth in one of the strongest competitions. Anand won a silver medal on the top board.
But last week, a young Indian team comprising D Gukesh, R. Praggnanandhaa, Arjun Erigaisi, Vidit Gujrathi, and P. Harikrishna claimed India's maiden title in the Olympiad, with a dominant performance, finishing undefeated in 11 rounds in the Open category.
