 Are we sure that they were *deliberately* bad?
Opening with 1. g4 is all very well, but following it up with f3 is inviting a very quick loss. You might hope someone on her team would have a word.

Gukesh on board three for India. Just sayin'.
He'd be on board 4 if Pragg was playing in this match; hopefully Gukesh will come back into form soon
