[ad_1] Magnus Carlsen in action against Arjun Erigaisi at the Tata Steel Chess India Rapid Tournament. (PC: Tata Steel Chess India) Magnus Carlsen was on a roll. Three consecutive victories on Day 2 of the Tata Steel Chess India Rapid Tournament saw him take the sole lead in the Open section. In the Women’s section, Aleksandra Goryachkina was similarly dominant, securing three wins on the spin to move to 5 points, and firmly in the lead. It was a day of some top-class chess action. Carlsen started the day half-a-point behind overnight leader Nodirbek Abdusattorov. First, he got the better of SL Narayanan followed by a win over Wesley So and then he outsmarted Arjun Erigaisi. The Norwegian grandmaster raced to 5 points out of a possible 6 and on top of the leaderboard. A master was at work. Abdusattorov, with 4.5 points, is snapping at Carlsen’s heels. The Uzbek prodigy drew with Nihal Sarin and Vidit Gujrathi in rounds 4 and 5 respectively before ending the day with a win over Narayanan. He is nicely placed to challenge Carlsen on the final day of the Rapid event. As for Goryachkina, her back-to-back wins against India’s Vantika Agrawal and Vaishali R helped her get into the groove before she rounded off the day with a victory over Kateryna Lagno.

Vantika Agarwal’s Thriving Chess Journey
Ranked 1st in India, 3rd in Asia and 17th in the world in FIDE rankings, Vantika Agrawal last year became a gold medal winner in the Chess Olympiad in which India and Russia were the joint winners.
Woman International Master at the age of 14, and gold medal winner at the age of 17, is a really astonishing thing to achieve at this young age, but this is how you will describe her incredible chess journey. From her very fast rise in the ratings to her consistent hard work as well as dedication, she is definitely on the fast road to being a great chess player.
This young girl has achieved a lot in this short time as her achievements are speaking for themselves and also she has been even awarded by Hon’ble Former President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee as well as Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Her crowning glory was the part of the Indian team for winning Olympiad gold for the first time ever.
Vantika Agrawal’s Successful Journey of Chess
Her journey of chess starts at a very early age as she won the gold medal in U-9 girls, Asian Schools Chess, 2011, Delhi. From there she has been winning one competition after the other.
Participating in Olympiad, Vantika was lucky to get a place on the Indian team. Her strategy proceeding into the competition was to just give her greatest performance and contribute as much as she could to the team. She did that pretty well by getting 3.5/4 in the league stage, where India ended first, taking down a robust Chinese squad.
As the Indian squad started into the playoffs, Vantika remained calm as well as confident. And when there was a tie in the final, all the players were happy and for Vantika it was really a dream come true. Even though it was online, but it was her first Olympiad. She even says that playing with her team has made her even more motivated.

Armenia withdraws from Online Chess Olympiad following rejected appeal
Armenia withdrew from the Online Chess Olympiad following rejection of an appeal over one of their players losing a game due to internet disconnection.
India had won the first round of matches 3.5-2.5 with captain Vidit S Gujrathi, D Harika and Nihal Sarin posting victories. While former world champion Viswanathan Anand drew his game against the Armenian No.1 Lev Aronian, Koneru Humpy and Vantika Agrawal suffered defeats.
The Armenians protested for a long time delaying the start of the second round of matches before withdrawing following rejection of their appeal.
“Following the disconnection of Haik Martirosyan in Match 1 of the Quarterfinal against India, Armenia filed an official appeal that was rejected by the Appeals Committee. Armenia defaulted Match 2. As a result, India is through to the semifinals,” FIDE said in a tweet.

Following the disconnection of Haik Martirosyan in Match 1 of the Quarterfinal against India, Armenia filed an official appeal that was rejected by the Appeals Committee. Armenia defaulted Match 2. As a result, India is through to the semifinals.
— International Chess Federation (@FIDE_chess) August 28, 2020
Haik Martirosyan was declared to have lost against the young Sarin on the fifth board, which led to Armenia lodging the protest, contending that their connection was stable.
Later, Armenia’s top player Aronian slammed Fide’s decision to reject the team’s appeal, stating that here was no problem on the Armenian side.
“As a leader of a three-times Olympic champion I feel very dissatisfied with FIDE’s desision to reject our just appeal. Haik Martirosyan lost on time due to disconnection from http://chess.com We proved that our connection was stable,” Aronian tweeted.

Armenia’s withdrawal means India advances to the semifinals. where it will face Azerbaijan.

[ad_1] The ongoing Chess event has brought together some of the world’s top talents. (PC: Team RevSportz) As Magnus Carlsen beat Vidit Gujarathi, the audience at Dhono Dhanyo Auditorium broke into a big round of applause. A little later, at the auditorium entrance, a young girl, accompanied by her mother, gingerly walked up to a tournament official, with a request for a Carlsen autograph. “Maybe, on Friday, when the Rapid round ends,” she was told. The young girl looked crestfallen. She bunked school to be present at the event to catch a glimpse of the Norwegian superstar. The Tata Steel Chess India Rapid & Blitz tournament commenced on Wednesday and obviously, the five-time world champion was the top attraction. Carlsen has been a regular in this tournament, but he remains the pied piper. The celebrated annual event, featuring both Open and Women’s tournaments, has brought together some of the world’s top chess talents. But nobody oozes World No. 1 Carlsen’s charm. He had a good start, drawing his first two games against India’s Praggnanandhaa R and Nihal Sarin before finishing the day with a win over Gujarathi. It placed him in joint second position with 2 points. Day 1 saw some thrilling matches across three rounds of Rapid play, with Uzbekistan’s grandmaster, Abdusattorov Nodirbek emerging as the early leader in the Open section. He scored 2.5 points out of a possible 3, securing victories over talented German Vincent Keymer in round two and Praggnanandhaa in round three, while drawing his opening game with Daniil Dubov. India’s SL Narayanan also scored 2 points with a win against Keymer in round one and two draws with Wesley So and Arjun Erigaisi. In the Women’s section, Indian talent Vantika Agrawal stood out, sharing the lead with Aleksandra Goryachkina and Kateryna Lagno, each scoring 2 points from three rounds. Agrawal achieved a significant victory over Valentina Gunina in the opening round and followed it up with draws against Alexkandra Kosteniuk and Nana Dzagnidze. India’s Koneru Humpy, Dronavalli Harika and Divya Deshmukh each trail the leaders by half-a-point after drawing all three games on Day 1. Earlier, the tournament inauguration ceremony was graced by Chanakya Chaudhary, vice-president of Tata Steel, alongside Nitin Narang, president of the All India Chess Federation and Saurabh Runwal, associate director of Runwal Realty. The Standings at the end of Day 1 MEN: NODIRBEK ABDUSATTOROV – 2.5 S L NARAYANAN – 2 WESLEY SO – 2 MAGNUS CARLSEN – 2 NIHAL SARIN – 1.5 DANIIL DUBOV – 1.5 ARJUN ERIGAISI – 1.5 R PRAGGNANANDHAA – 1 VINCENT KEYMER – 0.5 VIDIT GUJRATHI – 0.5 WOMEN: ALEKSANDRA GORYACHKINA – 2 KATERYNA LAGNO – 2 VANTIKA AGARWAL – 2 KONERU HUMPY – 1.5 HARIKA DRONAVALLI N- 1.5 NANA DZAGNIDZE – 1.5 DIVYA DESHMUKH – 1.5 VALENTINA GUNINA – 1 ALEXANDRA KOSTENIUK – 1 VAISHALI R – 1 The post Nodirbek takes early lead, but Carlsen remains the pied piper appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

The two-legged clash saw India beat Armenia 3.5-2.5 in the opener. However, there was an unfortunate incident when Haik M Martirosyan lost to Nihal Sarin and Armenia appealed against the result as they claimed it was due to disconnection. The appeals committee rejected it. Meanwhile, Armenia defaulted in the second leg. India, as a result, made the last-four stage of the competition. Armenia skipper Levon Aronian was understandably upset with the whole episode. "As a leader of a 3 times Olympic champion I feel very dissatisfied with FIDE's decision to reject our just appeal. In our match against India Haik Martirosyan lost on time due to disconnection from chess.com. We proved that our connection was stable. And it was a problem access to chess.com, not on our side. All we asked for was to continue that game from the same position and same time. Is it too much to ask?," Aronian wrote on Twitter. Latest Comment Congratulations Team India. Well Done. See All Comments Add comment Earlier, the opening leg commenced with Aronian drawing five-time former world champion Viswanathan Anand with the black. India soon went ahead with D Harika beating Lilit Mkrtchian. Vidit Gujrathi swelled the lead with a win over Gabriel Sargissian. However, Armenia pulled one back with Anna M Sargsyan beating Vantika Agrawal in the girls U-20 clash. In the boys U-20 clash, Nihal won against Haik and with it India sealed the Match 1. Elina Danielian defeated world rapid champion Koneru Humpy in what was an inconsequential clash. Credit : Times of India Source: https://ift.tt/32wAHvT

On Sunday, the nation witnessed one of the greatest days in Indian sporting history. India won two gold medals in the 45th edition of the Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary in both the Open and Women’s competitions.
In the Open competition, team of Gukesh D, Praggnanandhaa R, Arjun Erigaisi, Vidit Gujrathi, and Harikrishna Pentala, with Srinath Narayanan as the captain, led throughout the tournament, winning 10 matches and drawing just one. The women's team of Harika Dronavalli, Vaishali R, Divya Deshmukh, Vantika Agrawal, and Tania Sachdev, with Abhijit Kunte as the captain, demonstrated excellent composure and delivered, winning the final match against Azerbaijan 3.5-0.5.
2024 has been a special year for Indian sports. The Indian men’s cricket team finally ended an 11-year wait for a global title. At the Olympics, shooter Manu Bhaker achieved a series of firsts with two bronze medals and the Indian men’s hockey team won a second consecutive bronze.
And earlier this month, India would sign off from the Paralympics with 29 medals, registering their best performance ever in the multi-sport event.
