Many top players missing...but China, Russia, India are full strength.

 

We beat Ukraine in the QF

 

SF lineup (Big 4 made it):

 

China vs Russia

India vs USA

Russia crushes China in SF. 

 

Intimidating display, yet to drop a set this tournament.

Don't think so.

With this final game of mine today I will probably give it a very long rest...my rating dropped 50 points from peak of 2160 and I have realised that when I am in my zone I am probably 2300 on lichess and when it's the opposite I am probably a 2000...but chess Takes a lot of time energy and creates fun but also a lot of stress...anyways in this final win against a 2216 player , I again employed my bread n butter Botvinnik English setup with white..
