Team India is through to the next round

The entire Indian contingent have advanced to Round 2. Only Gukesh had to play the tie-breaks, which he won comfortably. The youngest GM of India needed only two Rapid games of 25 mins + 10 seconds each to advance to the next stage.

Teclaf - Gukesh: 1.5-2.5

A lot can happen in one move. Teclaf blundered in a position where an alternate capture could have given him an advantage.

Position after 21.Qxc7

21.Qxc7 is the incorrect capture for White as that costs him a piece. Try to think like Gukesh and find out the winning continuation for Black. 21.Bxc7 would have given White the upper hand.

Gukesh got an early advantage in the second game.

Position after 12...c5

12...c5 just loses material for Black. 12.dxc6 dxc6 13.Nxe6 costs Black an exchange. White decided against taking it and continued 14.g3. Gukesh was better for the majority of the game, since a draw was enough for him to go through to Round 2, he made a draw.
