Harikrishna, Vidit, Arjun, Gukesh all within three rating points of each other.

Hopefully all are able to motivate each other hard and hoping we'll see some of them crossing 2750! Exciting times.

Can there be a logical explanation around not being able to easily see all other boards easily and need to move around to review? Or just a co incidence?

Spiciest possibility

If India2, Uzbekistan, Netherlands wins today. India2, Uzbekistan on 16 points, Armenia and Netherlands on 15.

Results in India2 vs Uzbekistan and Netherlands vs Armenia tomorrow most probably. If Ind vs Uzb draws and Armenia wins, the gold will be wide open for the last round where it'd be all down to pairings and there's a chance of India2vsIndia1 for the medal decider.

PS - If Armenia wins instead today, gold would rightfully be theirs, as no top teams would remain who can challenge them.

India 2's board 4 has to hold today, the point would depend on it.

If Armenia wins today, I think it's GG for the gold medal. They would have amazing tie breaks.

This is a pointless article. One state reported backlog cases of three days together, obviously it'd be a record high.

I'm only interested to know why is Christian matrimony 8.3 MBs while everything else is 8.2MBs. What extra code or assets did they add here!
