CHENNAI: India on Friday advanced to the semifinals of the FIDE Online Chess Olympiad after its opponent Armenia's withdrawal, following rejection of its appeal over one of its players losing a game due to internet disconnection.
India will take on the winner of the Azerbaijan versus Poland match in the semifinals on Saturday.
India had won the first round of matches 3.5-2.5 with captain Vidit S Gujrathi, D Harika and Nihal Sarin posting victories. While former world champion Viswanathan Anand drew his game against the Armenian No.1 Lev Aronian, Koneru Humpy and Vantika Agrawal suffered defeats.
The Armenians protested for a long time delaying the start of the second round of matches before withdrawing following rejection of their appeal.
