Which sport? Ah, chess. It’d be good to include the sport in the thread title.

^^^ Hey, that brings up my old question. Is chess a sport?

[We have had long discussions on it. I still insist that it is only a game, and not a sport]

[Atithee]

^^^
I fully agree; it’s not a sport. But please edit the title. No argument in inserting chess in the title, right?

[Saffron Lenin]

How to change the title? I can't find edit option

[jayakris]

^^^ You can simply edit your first post, and the title box should be there. I edited it for you. Mod, Jay

Semifinal Round 1 : India plays 2-2 draw in round 1...
What a brilliant comeback.....VD was down in game most of the time but made a good draw..Nihal plays draw...Great win by SL Narayan...Sethuraman lost the game( as expected, he has not won single game in the tournament and is the weak link)

[Saffron Lenin]

If we wins Round 2 , we will be in the final FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY.......most probably final will be against China

[Saffron Lenin]

India lost to Uzbekistan in semis..

[Saffron Lenin]

We lost Uzbekistan in group stage, in Olympiad and now in semis.....which proves that Uzbekistan is indeed a superior chess team than us....so it's a expected result.....By the way, we have a chance to win bronze if we beat Spain for 3rd place

[Saffron Lenin]

Losing semis is always very heartbreaking
