India are 2024 Chess Olympiad champions! Dominant performance of Gukesh D and Arjun Erigaisi and solid play by the teammates secured the title for India.
The gold medal of Gukesh is a special boost for his confidence ahead of the World Chess Championship match. His performance of ~3070 is the second best in history.
Greg Mustreader says, “The highest ever performance rating in classical belongs to Fabi, with 3100 in the 2014 Sinquefield Cup. Gukesh is now winning against Fedoseev in the last round of #ChessOlympiad2024, which will give him the 2nd best tournament performance of all time – around 3070, 9/10.”
