Tania Sachdev<\/strong>\u00a0battled long and hard to rake in that precious point which allowed her team India A in the Women’s section, to edge out Hungary with a 2.5-1.5 score. All the other three encounters ended in draws, and the onus was on Tania, who rose brilliantly to the occasion.<\/p>

A tired but happy Tania quipped, “It was a tough position, and I was aware that our two boards had ended in a draw but was not able to really evaluate Humpy’s position as my position was a tough one”.<\/p>

Team Coach of Women’s Team A was upbeat about the Teams victory and commented: “The Teams are well balanced, and it is very important to take one round at a time. All the games today were well fought”.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

After three rounds, Bulgaria was a top scorer, having dropped only half a point in 12 games. But in Round 4, the young team led by IM\u00a0Nurgyul Salimova<\/strong>\u00a0could not stop mighty Ukraine. “Powerhouse Anna” on boards 2 and 3,\u00a0Muzychuk<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Ushenina<\/strong>, did their job winning against Peycheva and Krasteva, respectively, securing an overall victory.<\/p>

The third-seeded Georgian Women’s Team proved too strong for the India C Team, with\u00a0P V Nandhidhaa<\/strong>\u00a0winning her encounter against Nino Batsiashvili, rated higher than her.\u00a0Eesha Karavade<\/strong>\u00a0lost to\u00a0Nana Dzagnidze<\/strong>,\u00a0Sahithi Varshini\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0Lela Javakhishvili<\/strong>\u00a0(in just 12 moves!), and Pratyusha fell to Salome Melia.<\/p>

The Netherlands did not manage to pose problems for Poland, strengthened this year by IM\u00a0Alina<\/strong>\u00a0Kashlinskaya<\/strong>\u00a0on Board 1, and the ladies under the read-and-white flag won by convincing 3\u00bd-\u00bd.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

France and Romania complete the list of leaders after four rounds. Both teams won with the smallest of margins, 2.5-1.5, against Serbia and Germany. And if France was a favourite against Serbia and this result did not surprize, Romania’s victory is a serious blow to Germany’s hopes for medals as the team led by IM\u00a0Elisabeth Paehtz<\/strong>\u00a0was higher-rated on every board.<\/p>

28th seed Mongolia kept up the good work and held 10th seed Kazakhstan to a draw in a minor flutter.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The 11th seeded Indian Women B Team edged past Estonia with a 2.5-1.5 score, with\u00a0Vantika Agrawal<\/strong>\u00a0bringing the winning point for her team while the other three games ended in draws. Vantika has been in top form so far, scoring a superb 4\/4.<\/p>
