Olympiad: India's gold chances get bleaker despite win in open; women still in hunt

India's chess teams experienced contrasting fortunes in the ongoing Chess Olympiad, with the open team seeing its gold medal chances diminish despite a 2.5-1.5 victory over England. Uzbekistan's continued perfect run in the open section has made India's path to the top of the podium increasingly difficult, though the team remains in contention for a medal.

Meanwhile, the Indian women's team bolstered its title aspirations following a dominant 3.5-0.5 win against Germany. The strong performance was spearheaded by Savitha Shri, strengthening the team's position as they continue their hunt for the championship title.
