Budapest R8 (women): Three co-leaders as Poland beat India
India suffered their first match defeat in either section of the Olympiad in Thursday’s eighth round, as the women’s squad was beaten by Poland, the third seeds in the event. Wins by Alina Kashlinskaya (pictured) and Monika Socko allowed the Polish team to catch up with India in the standings. They are now tied for first place with Kazakhstan, who edged out France by a 2½-1½ score. Three teams – Ukraine, United States, and Armenia – are just 1 match point behind the leading trio as the competition heats up with only three rounds to go. | Photo: FIDE / Michal Walusza
