Chess World Cup Final 2023: Praggnanandhaa and Magnus Carlsen draw in 2nd match

| @indiablooms | 23 Aug 2023, 08:58 pm

Baku: India’s 18-year-old chess sensation R Praggnanandhaa has once again drawn with world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen after over one hour of intense competition in the second game of the Chess World Cup Final in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku.

Previously, an popular figure in Indian chess had anticipated that Carlsen, who was playing the white pieces, could go for a draw. Analysts pointed out that Carlsen's strategy was influenced by his struggle with food poisoning. This led him to extend the game to the third day to achieve better physical condition and focus.

Both accomplished Grandmasters are vying for their first World Cup championship.

After the draw, Praggnanandhaa gave his reaction to today's drawn match and the approach he will take for the next play with Carlsen in the ongoing finals.
