The world’s fourth-largest chess event, the 41st Chess Olympiad, ended on August 2015 in the former Mack Brewery warehouse in Tromsø. About 1,500 players from over 170 countries played against each other in the Norwegian city of Tromso, to win medals and more importantly, the Hamilton-Russell Cup, which was the top prize since first official Olympiad in London in 1927. This cup has been used since that time. Amazing isn’t it? The young Chinese team won the 41st Chess Olympiad in Tromsø, Norway.
They became the only undefeated team among 176 participating countries, winning eight matches and tying three, scoring 19 points.
The Hungarians won the silver medals on a tiebreak over India, both scoring 17 points.
Azerbaijan and the top rated team of Russia also scored 17 points, but their tiebreaks were not good enough.
Russia won the Women’s Olympiad with 20 match points, and China edged Ukraine on a tiebreak after both scored 18 points.
Hungary’s second place was overshadowed by Judit Polgar’s announcement that she is retiring from professional chess.
Sasikirian was vital to the Indian performance!!!
A proud Indian team finished bronze!!!
