India has an ‘excellent chance’ of retaining Chess Olympiad title: captain Srinath
If the India Open team is to replicate its near-perfect Chess Olympiad 2024 campaign, it will take some doing. India will have the ‘defending champion’ tag attached to it throughout the global competition in Samarkand in September and will be expected to deliver another strong show. Srinath stressed that his squad will not carry any “baggage”, saying that it will begin from square one just like any other team.
