In the women’s event, the Indian team triumphed over Azerbaijan with a decisive 3.5-0.5 victory. They awaited the result of the Kazakhstan vs. USA match, which ended in a draw, confirming a double gold medal for India. This historic achievement marks a significant milestone in the country’s chess history.
