How Zhu Jiner Powered China Toward Chess Olympiad Gold
· Sports · Times of India, Chess
Grandmaster Zhu Jiner has led China to the top of the women's standings at the 46th Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Playing on Board 1, the world no. 4 remained unbeaten across the rounds as China pulled clear of competing teams. This strong international form follows a difficult campaign at the Global Chess League in Bengaluru, where her team Triveni Continental Kings finished second from bottom. During that Bengaluru tournament, the 23-year-old managed just one win, four losses, and five draws across her matches. Despite those struggles on Indian boards, she maintained a positive impression of Bengaluru and its weather.
Why it matters
Zhu Jiner's turnaround secures China's leading position for the Chess Olympiad gold medal without their top three rated players.
