Warangal's wonder boy, Arjun Erigaisi, is nothing but an unstoppable machine while moving his pawns and pieces on the 64 squares. He just can't stop winning. In the final round, he gave India the lead with a quick 49-move win over Slovenia's Jan Subel for his ninth victory in the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary.
Despite being the highest rated Indian player at 2778 Elo, he was made to play on the third board, making him the monster for his opponents. Like Divya Deshmukh, he not only played all the 11 games but delivered on his way to lead India to a memorable triumph. Of the 11 games that Arjun played, he won nine rounds and drew twice to remain unbeaten while performing at a rating as high as 2968 Elo.
