Good to hear something else than cricket

[@venkatsworld5124]

Total 6 GOLD Medals (Two Team Medals, and 4 Individual GOLDs).

[@samuelabraham9119]

Sports Tak should learn from Sports Today.

Vikrant’s IQ won’t allow him

[@_sayan_roy_]

It shows you guys don't know about chess or didn't follow the Olympiad even a tiny bit. Because there is no mens' category. It is Open category where women are allowed to participate but generally they do in women category to maximize their chances. Couldn't follow after that to maximize the best use of my own time, but I'm sure you had some great points later in the video and might have corrected that error later in the edit/graphic or the expert might have corrected you..

[@suryarath3651]

This video is just to eyewash people that they cover sports not only cricket. LOL

[@crimestoriesbangla2598]

isn't it good? everyone is noticing chess dominance by India

[@Grotes_que]

Hikara Nakamura has clearly said that for the present day indian contingent his playing or not playing would have made no difference.

[@vikashdimri668]

Great coverage

[@kavinshah9920]

Gukesh has the edge, but ding is a monster and it's not going to be easy

[@amrendrasingh7140]

Yes but gukesh is playing a different level of chess, i know ding is good but I feel gukesh has an edge

[@abhishekshrivastava8676]

Currently ding was not in form when he was in form he made struggle to peak magnus@amrendrasingh7140

[@SudeepAdhikari0611]

SID V GPT COVERAGE OF CHESS OLYMPIAD WAS BRILLIANT! 💯🇮🇳

[@mohitkumarrai5536]

Chess is important for us

[@SudeepAdhikari0611]

CHESS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN OLYMPICS

[@sarah-anam]

[@allroundentertainment8821]

This guys have been other sports since a long time. What you are saying is true for cricket tak

[@SubhamML11]

I DON'T KNOW WHY CHESS IS NOT IN OLYMPICS,IT HAS TO BE IN OLYMPICS RATHER THAN CRICKET

[@cricketclassics5490]

Chess olympiad is kind of olympic of its own..

[@SubhamML11]

@@cricketclassics5490 bt it is not Olympics,you can't compare any particular event to Olympics

[@unknow8897]

​@@SubhamML11 Because the Olympics only allow sports which involve physical activity also even even it is popular it still does not have much viewership, it's highest live viewership even hardly reaches half million therefore it does not include in Olympic 😢😢

[@SubhamML11]

@@unknow8897 then why air rifle is in Olympics it is not athleticism ,it is about skill endurance concentration, which chess has .and about popularity cricket is not as popular as chess cause cricket only played in 8-9 countries where chess played in almost 180 countries

[@unknow8897]

@@SubhamML11 Because air rifle require more physical activity compare to chess and international Olympic association official reason not include chess is physical activity as well as to include sports in Olympic there is certain number of countries request required and many countries doesn't even consider chess as sports like Sweden, Belgium England etc

[@gabar6541]

Sir correction Its not 2 gold medals Its total 6 Gold medals

[@saptarsisanyal4359]

Its women and open section. Not men and women

[@amrendrasingh7140]

Very true

[@amrendrasingh7140]

Are u for serious guys ding did come in the tournament he didn’t take part was his own call. Do some research guys before embarrassing yourself in front of thousands

[@allroundentertainment8821]

Looks like you didn't watch the full video. They corrected this later on

[@sahilrana2325]

Omg! The game against wei yi ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@indrajitnandyrana43]

There is no mens section... its real open section of chess olympiads where real chess happened ... girl section is a back door entry just bcs they are girl ... as a chess lover we need real quality not gender discrimination n back door appearances

[@venkateshbs797]

Sports today are doing good job they are doing live shows and discussions on other sports sports Tak should learn from sports today sports Tak team says if we do live shows and coverages on other sports there will be no likes comments and views they say but look how many comments are there in comment section even when this show was going on live I saw lot of comments in the comment section even view and likes were more so only I expect sports Tak also to focus on other sports otherwise they should change the name from Sports Tak to Cricket Tak

[@divyanshukumar9601]

Your chess expert is lacking knowledge on many levels..... Bring Sagar shah from Chessbase india - The real chess journalist. Ex. - Pragg and Gukesh both have beaten Magnus Carlsen in Classical chess and freestyle respectively. Hikaru Nakamura hadn't play Olympiad since 2018....so it's not like The USA federation didn't send him. Regarding Russian team - It's not the strongest team anymore with only 1 player above 2700 elo and others had changed the federation.... Due to its ban Regarding Ding Liren statement that Gumesh is favorite in WCC match - It's not the China's strategy of underplay........ All top chess players know tht Ding is suffering from psychological and insomnia issues from past 2 years so whatever he said was genuine not any strategy And why Ding didn't play Gukesh? Coz before that round, he was defeated very badly by a relatively weaker oponent..... That's why China's current best player Wei played on top board against Gukesh

[@allroundentertainment8821]

Russian team is not strongest cz others changed federation. If there was no ban then they would have had a strong team.
