Another disappointing result for us against lower rated opponents ... Serbia hold us 2-all draw ... Our top boards r screwing us in this Olympiad ... Today Sasi lost against lower rated Ivan Ivanisevic in 40 moves ... Sasi was under time pressure despite playing with white ... Hari and his opponent played very offensively ... They agreed draw after only 30 moves but only 6 pieces were on the board ... In another offensive match Negi managed draw after 42 moves ... This time only 5 pieces on the board, white had advantage of extra pawn ... Today GN Gopal saved an embarrassment ... He defeated Serbian GM Dusan Popovic playing with black after 55 moves.
In women's match our bottom two boards gave good start for us ... Tania and Mary scored victory with black and white pieces respectively ... Tania defeated her opponent in 56 moves and Mary in 44 moves ... But Eesha had shocking defeat in hands of lower rated Nguyen Thi Mai Hung after 81 moves ... Harika manage hard fought draw against Nguyen after 99 moves and we laboured to victory against 28th ranked Vietnam.
