Masters of team events, Indonesian Ubaidillah (men's singles) and Wiryawan (women's singles) highlight the gap in class, with scalding second set loss marginsIndia might have cone a long way in winning a mixed team bronze at the Badminton World Junior Championships in Guwahati. But they have a considerably longer way to go in junior development and preparing those on the brink of seniors transition, before they get into the top tier. ad The top tier right now is Indonesia, winner of Asian event earlier and defending champions. Their junior brigade that there’s more to winning than aggression, attack and skill – and Indians remain tactically very suspect, especially in doubles. Unnati Hooda, India’s most optimistic bet to drag India out of their struggle, ‘lost’ her matches 9-10 and 7-9 to Thalita Wiryawan as India went down 45-35, 45-21 in straight sets in the relay format, though the sucker punches cane in womens doubles. India’s only segment wins came from Bhargav Arigela-Viswa Gobburu (9-5 in the first) and mixed doubles, Lalramsangaand Vishakha Toppo (10-9), but three 2-9 setbacks across the rwo sets, really plunged the team out of any contention. Bhargav-Viswa started well, offering hugely false hope with 9-6 win over Rizki-Daffa. Unnati couldn’t get going against the astute Wiryawan, though she was far from humbled, going at 9-10.

Two players from the batting team, the striker and nonstriker, stand in front of either wicket holding bats, while one player from the fielding team, the bowler, bowls the ball toward the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each of these exchanges. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally. The fielding team aims to prevent runs by dismissing batters (so they are "out"). Dismissal can occur in various ways, including being bowled (when the ball hits the striker's wicket and dislodge...

It is played on a square board containing 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as White and Black, each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns; each type of piece has a different pattern of movement.

There are also several ways a game can end in a draw. Left to right: white king, black rook, black queen, white pawn, black knight, white bishop
