D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi played an important role in this historic victory of India, who won their matches and brought India to the top.
Gukesh laid the foundation for India's gold victory
18-year-old D Gukesh played a key role in India's success by defeating Russia's Vladimir Fedoseev, one of the top players in the tournament. His victory laid the foundation for India's dominance in the tournament. Arjun displayed his talent by defeating John Sublej and strengthened India's hold in the crucial match against Slovenia.
Gukesh's victory brought India close to gold.
On Saturday, D Gukesh defeated Fabiano Caruana of America and brought the Indian team very close to becoming the gold medalist in the open category. Gukesh's victory was very special because it gave America an early lead after Wesley So defeated R Praggnanandhaa. Despite this lead from America, the Indian team was never in a position to lose this match because Arjun Erigaisi kept a tight grip on Lennier Dominguez Perez. Arjun was successful in winning the marathon match of almost five hours, while Vidit Gujrati was successful in holding Levon Aronian to a draw.
