    Team Canada is in 32nd place. The Canadian women are 25th. A win in the last round by the women will put them in the top 20.

      Fittingly, India won the last match with two wins with the black pieces. Gukesh and Erigaisi came through bigtime! Did they both get to 2800 as a result. Pretty close. Gold for India!

            The other three games with the Canadian women's are all equal endings. Its now a waiting game.

                Its now up to Razvan on board 4. In my opinion he has a winning rook endgame. If Razvan wins it Team Canada wins the match! Fingers-crossed.

                  Wesley So sacrificed the exchange against Wei Yi and wins big in the endgame. The US win against China. Will the US get silver?

                    The Razvan game is a draw and Team Canada ties against Vietnam. A great result as Vietnam is a four GM team and were contending in the top ten for most of the Olympiad.

                        It looks like India will also end up with the gold in the women's.

                          Astonishing, 4 players and 11 rounds = 44 games. 27 wins, 16 draws, and only 1 loss. Even better, Gukesh is only 18, Prag is 19, Erigaisi is 21, and Vidit is the old man at 29

                          According to 2700chess, Erigaisi is 2797 and Gukesh is 2794.

                            It looks like the Iran ladies defaulted 4-0 to Israel in round 11.

                              It truly is astonishing that kind of domination and that kind of future.

                                The Canadian women came up big in the last round winning 3-1 against the Lithuanians.
