I was in a lot of trouble until he erred with 30.g3??. I presume he calculated 30...Nf3 31.gxf4!, but 30...Bf3+! 31.Bxf3 Nxf3 netted the exchange and the game. Even misplayed King's Indians give you chances. Early morning final rounds seem to provide plenty of blunders.
Round 6 saw another draw for young IM Sohum Lohia, this time against GM Vitezslav Rasik. 2.5/6 and 8th place, as it stands #chess

Back to drizzly home. England finished 8th=, 12th on tiebreaks after a couple of narrow wins. Well done Luke, who scored an impressive undefeated 7.5/10. The women's team impressed, headlined by IM norm achieving Bodhana. Believe she's now a WGM, congratulations! #chessolympiad

It was fantastic to see the report of Bodhana’s youngest WGM achievement on the mainstream news last night. What great publicity for chess! Two familiar figures were featured, her mentor at Harrow Chess Club Nevil Chan and our renowned organiser of women’s chess @AgaMilewska123
