The chess fever caused by the 44th Chess Olympiad 2022 in Chennai, India doesn’t stop. The whole city is decked up in chess colors promoting the world’s biggest chess competition. The event attracted a number of journalists who daily report from the tournament and the interest for the chess games is repeatedly seen upon the start of the first round.

One of the first games to be finished today in the Women’s Chess Olympiad Round 2 was played between Swedish chess legend GM Pia Cramling and WIM Knarik Mouradian (Lebanon). Pia won the game having Black pieces after only nine moves of play as Mouradian terribly blundered a piece with 9.f3 and resigned immediately after. With Pia Cramling’s quick victory, the Swedish women’s team took the 1-0 lead over Lebanon!
