Indian chess star Arjun Erigaisi lost to 15-year-old Turkish talent Edin Gurel in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Erigaisi, who recently helped India win gold at the Chess Olympiad, was representing SK Dusseldorfer. A win could have brought him closer to the 2800 rating mark, but late-game errors cost him the match. Erigaisi, along with other top Indian players, was recently honored by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their historic Olympiad victory in Hungary. Despite the defeat, Erigaisi remains a key player in India’s chess resurgence.
