Poland vs India Semifinals | Duda vs Anand | FIDE Chess Olympiad 2020
Channel: Mordimer's Chess Channel
Date: 29/08/2020

India OP. But it was a tough fight. First round for Poland, Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Radek Wojtaszek won their games against Vishy Anand and Vidit Gujrathi. In the second round Indian women, Harika Dronavali and Humpy Koneru won their games and pulled Team India from lost semifinals to armageddon. Then Humpy got black pieces and played too fast and too solid to get into danger. Congratulations to India and good luck in the Grand Final!

The Online Olympiad is a national teams event in which all federations affiliated to FIDE have the right to participate. Each team will consist of six players, in a mixed format with a minimum of three female players and two junior players.
