Putting aside the disappointment of missing a chance to have a go at the gold medal, India 2 climbed the podium with a resounding 3-1 victory over Germany in the 11th and final round of the Chess Olympiad<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Nihal Sarin and Raunak Sadhwani striking with white and D. Gukesh and R. Praggnanandhaa gaining a draw with black, India 2 emerged as the only team on 18 points, one behind champion Uzbekistan and runner-up Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The young combination of Uzbekistan defeated Netherlands 2.5-1.5 while joint-overnight leader Armenia scored an identical victory over Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For India, this was the second medal in the Open section of the Olympiad, to go with the one from the 2014 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n India 1 also came up with a fine performance to hold top seed USA 2-2. But this result left the teams on 17 points and away from the podium. India 1 finished fourth and USA, fifth. India 3, seeded 16, drew with Kazakhstan to finish a distant 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual gold medals for D. Gukesh and Nihal Sarin, silver to Arjun Erigiasi and bronze to R.
