India made history on September 22, 2024, by winning two gold medals at the Chess Olympiad 2024 in Budapest. The Indian teams dominated both the Open and Women’s events, marking a historic achievement. Leading the charge were D Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, and R Praggnanandhaa. Their incredible performances highlighted the strength and talent of India’s young chess prodigies.
India’s young chess stars shone brightly in Budapest. Gukesh and Arjun led the Open team to gold, delivering match-winning performances against Slovenia. Praggnanandhaa also made key contributions throughout the tournament, helping the team stay at the top. These prodigies, despite their young age, have the skills and maturity to challenge the best players in the world.
In the Women’s event, India secured another gold with a dominant 3.5-0.5 victory over Azerbaijan. D Harika’s win on the top board, along with Divya Deshmukh’s brilliant performance on board three, sealed India’s triumph. Divya, still in her teens, claimed an individual gold for herself as well.
The Chess Olympiad 2024 was truly a showcase of India’s young talent.
