Terrific performance by our girls to finished on 4th position ... Our first top 5 finish in Chess Olympiad ... With this performance our women team is qualified for World Team Chess Championship 2013.
Also what a performance by Abhijeet and Tania to win individual medals ... First time we won individual medal in Open and Women section ... Abhijeet Gupta gets the Silver on the Fourth Board and Tania Sachdev gets the Bronze on the Third Board.
But very disappointed performance by our other men's team members and we finished on lowly 35th position.
