GCL Day 2: SG Alpine Warriors succumb to Ganges Grandmasters

The highly anticipated match of the day was between SG Alpine Warriors and Ganges Grandmasters. The sole reason could be deduced as the battle between Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand. We got a glimpse of the Carlsen we are familiar with, one tiny positional inaccuracy and he will punish you for that. However, that win did not turn out enough for the team as Richard Rapport and Bella Khotenashvili scored important victories over D Gukesh and Elisabeth Paehtz which meant SG Alpine Warriors losing to Ganges Grandmasters 0-3 (6-11). Balan Alaskan Knights bounced back after their loss against SGAW by defeating upGrad Mumba Masters 0-3 by a huge margin (5-14). Four matches will be played tomorrow starting with SG Alpine Warriors vs Triveni Continental Kings from 3 p.m. local time, 4:30 p.m. IST. Photo: Tech Mahindra Global Chess League
