Hey Chess Champs!
I Take a Moment to Welcome you here. Happy Reading.
ChessOlympiad which was held from 24 July — 30 August 2020 .
The Game was played on CHESS. COM
It was 30th of August 2020 Finals of ChessOlympiad between INDIA and Russia.
Indian and Russian Teams Topped their respective Group tables and were Qualified Directly to Quarter Finals, and Further won the Q-F’s and S-F’s to reach the Finale.
FINAL (IND-RUS):
First Set was a Draw (3–3) Each. So the second Set of the game was the Decider .
The Time was around 18–18:30 PM . Vishy , Vidit & Harika already drew the Game so now all eyes were on The remaining Three Boards.
Divya vs Shuvalova
Nihal vs Esipenko
Humpy vs Aleksandra
It was India to Play the Move And OOPS!!! There was a Server Crash at Chess.com Site .
This Made Divya and Nihal Lose their Game’s , whereas Humpy inspite of losing most of her time she tried Fighting Back Hard But It Was in Vain.
Final Scores of set was Russia — 2½ India — 1½.
It was HIGH Time To tweet Floods to Chess.com / FIDE to lookup what went Wrong and provide Justice.
After A long Wait , FIDE Declared The fault to be a Technical ISSUE and Declared RUSSIA and INDIA as Joint Winners of ChessOlympiad2020
SOLUTION FOR SUCH TECHNICAL ISSUE’s
Had it not been a Technical Issue there would have been a Tough match.
This incident also happened In Many Earlier Matches .One Of which was Where ARMENIA had appealed to FIDE for the same Reason but was Rejected .
Technical issues For a world Class Event Makes the MOOD more Dramatic and Intense.
NEVERTHELESS , Such Issues Can be Avoided Further If root cause can be identified.
ONE SUCH SOLUTION IS
Chess.com can Add a new Feature Of A Buffer -
Where In the Last Moves of OFFICIAL_GAMES (ChessOlympiad/etc.) are Continuously being Saved .
If There is Any Kind Disconnection , Internet Failure Or Any Such Issue. The Server Can Pause the Game And Restart Only when there Is Stable Connection .
Once a stable Connection is Established There Can be a 15 seconds Countdown and then Game Can be Resumed.
By this Small Move The Game’s Integrity Will remain Alive and there will be life in the game Until the Last Move .
Thanks For Reading!!
I hope You Liked .
