Let’s clarify one thing: India didn’t win the Olympiad, but was rather named by FIDE a co-champion. imho, there is a huge difference between actually “winning” the gold or just being awarded one without winning a single game in the final

Грустные новости пришли из Москвы сегодня. Ушёл из жизни Евгений Эллинович Свешников🙏🏻. В далеком 1999 именно Свешников показал мне план с h4 в одном из вариантов Алапина, который я применяю и сегодня. А в 2003 был моим секундантом во время матча в Бриссаго. Светлая память!
