Six-time world champion Viswanathan Anand, who recently bagged the World Rapid title in Riyadh recently, today said India would be one of the five-six top teams at the Chess Olympiad. Asked whether a Chess Olympiad Gold was a possibility, Anand said, "Of course, we (India) will one of the top five-six teams (at the Chess Olympiad), even that by very small rating points. It will be silly to rule out the gold (medal) because of the nature of the Olympiad and the Swiss format. We have a good chance but so do many other (teams)."
