FIDE Online Olympiad for PWD R6: India 1 is still in the hunt
India 1 bounced back strong and beat Chile by a narrow margin of 2.5-1.5 in Round 6 of FIDE Online Olympiad for People with Disabilities. India 2 beat Kazakhstan by 3-1 and India 3 lost their second match of the tournament, this time against Turkey 1 by 1.5-2.5. India 4 scored a victory again, this time against Romania 2 by 2.5-1.5. During the game, Malika Handa mistakenly pressed 'Resign' button instead of 'Draw Offer', his opponent accepted the game to be continued and the Chief Arbiter allowed. India 1 still has some mathematical chances to advance to the Semi-Finals, however for that to happen, a lot of results need to go in India 1's favor. Today Friday 27th November, India 1 will face Russia 2 in Round 7 which is the final round of the Swiss League stage starting from 7:30 p.m. IST. Photo: Chessfest
Sportsman spirit triumphs all
India 1 bounced back strong and beat Chile by 2.5-1.5. Currently India is at eighth position with 9.0/12. Theoretically India 1 still has a chance to advance to the Semi-Finals but for that to happen a lot of results need to go towards India's favor. In the sixth round, seven-time National Deaf champion, Malika Handa accidentally pressed 'Resign' button instead of the 'Draw offer'. Her opponent accepted the request to continue the game and the Chief Arbiter allowed it. He eventually lost the game but that is immaterial, in a world where everyone is racing to the top, sportsman spirit prevailed all.
