Savitha Shree rockstar! Congratulations on 7/7! Indian women still in the race. All the best.
Congratulations team Germany on a fine win against Uzbekistan and making the tournament interesting!
I dont wanna put shade on gukesh but man such bad game. Also, arjun is being all creative the entire tournament with his openings but has not yielded any result. I really dont know what kind of strategy this is where he plays dubious opening in every game and continues to defend till the end and takes a draw. honestly wont be disappointed even if we dont win gold cause there is not even a player in our open team who has played extremely well. Kudos to savitha, who has played so well and is highly underrated. Savitha is the biggest positive for india this olympiad.
Savitha OP.❤ She came in clutch today
Savitha genuinely saved Indias ass god damnnn
Savitha, our rockstar and savior! You go girl, much love!
Thank you Savita for saving Team India
savita came in like captain america
Gukesh WAS world champion. Not the hate but if he is not been able to convert this against these players then it is same thing that happened with Ding when Gukesh won it.
If Gukesh wins WC, I will be surprised
Savitha shri ...wow wow and wow ❤❤.. Savitha shri ek taraf aur baki sab player ek taraf🎉 Guki come on u need to find move ..1.4 bn people hopes on you this November u need to defend title and make indiaa proud
India's likely opponent for last 3 rounds would be usa/germany/china. It isn't going to be easy. Where as uzbek will only have to face usa who have potential to beat them. And with today's draw only miracle can bring gold to India. Too much disappointed by Guki , also pragg too he could have played little longer which could have ease the pressure on Guki . This year the team isn't looking in element not a single player playing upto there potential.
Usually Pragg pushes under time pressure, but because this is a team event, he hesitated and settled for a draw today even though he was in a slightly better position. That's a very rare case of Pragg. When they play for a team , there is so much responsibility, so hesitation comes naturally. Even Arjun settling for a draw too early in some rounds is surprising
Vaishali must be preserving her prep for WC matches. If ie the case she should go on rest or train better we would like her to win WC.
very surprising man gukesh had so much advantage Plus 2 plus 3 but converted none of them like srsly!! world championship me kese hoga ese chala toh
Omg Savitha ❤❤❤
I do not understand the strategy as to why both Vantika and Savitha can't play, both are in extremely good form, we barely were able to draw today's game, Vaishali is not really in her best shape. But kudos to Savitha for the performance today and whole tournament ❤❤🥳🥳 Also in open section, we were the favourites to win but unfortunately both Pragg and Gukesh couldn't manage to convert their advantage, had we won today we would again be back for the Gold contention but now highly unlikely, A draw nonetheless
Vaishali is just tilting 😢 more power to you !
Savitha is crazy ❤
Savita op she saved indian team❤
