Why is world champion Gukesh D on Board 4 at Chess Olympiad 2026?

World champion Gukesh D will play on Board 4 for India at Chess Olympiad 2026 to ease pressure amid dip in form. Lower boards usually feature players rated in 2600s and this might help Gukesh collect crucial points and rebuild confidence ahead of his World Championship clash with Uzbekistan's Javokhir Sindarov. Sindarov, on Board 2, won't face Gukesh at Olympiad.
