The Indian chess team will want to build on its impressive showing in the FIDE World Cup by performing well at the Hangzhou Asian Games while China will be the overwhelming favourites.
Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, a sensational 17-year-old who holds the record for being the youngest finalist in the World Chess Championship, is leading the effort. Having recently supplanted Vishwanathan Anand as the nation’s top player, Gukesh D, the new face of Indian chess, is seated next to him.
At the Asian Games, India won four medals in the chess competition. India holds two bronze medals in addition to Humpy’s two golds, which he won in the individual and mixed competitions in 2006; one was won by Harika in 2010 and the other by the men’s team in the same year.
