44th Chess Olympiad 2022 R8: India vanquishes USA, Gukesh now India #2 and World #20 - ChessBase India

India 2 defeating USA does not come as a surprise. Sure it is a major upset, however one should certainly expect D Gukesh and Raunak Sadhwani beating Fabiano Caruana and Leinier Dominguez-Perez respectively on the biggest stage. The teenagers are on the rise, they are fearless, always ready to take risks and seize their chances. Computer might say Gukesh had a difficult position at one point, but the boy hasn't used computer until a couple of years ago. Nihal Sarin and Praggnanandhaa also drew with the World-Class Levon Aronian and Wesley So. Gabriel Sargissian grinded a drawn endgame to win against Harikrishna. India 1 Women drew with Ukraine to maintain their sole lead 15/16.
