Aug 21 Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa shocked global Deny.3 Fabiano Caruana 3.5-2.5 by way of the tie-break within the semifinals of the FIDE International Cup chess match in Baku, Azerbaijan on Monday. Then the two-game classical line ended 1-1, the 18-year-old Indian prodigy outlasted the highly-rated American GM in a combat of wits in a nerve-wracking tie-breaker. Praggnanandhaa will now tackle Norway’s Magnus Carlsen within the ultimate. “Pragg goes through to the final! He beats Fabiano Caruana in the tiebreak and will face Magnus Carlsen now. What a performance!,” chess legend Viswanathan Anand posted on ‘X’, previously Twitter.
Pragg is going via to the overall! He beats Fabiano Caruana within the tiebreak and can face Magnus Carlsen now.
What a efficiency!@FIDE_chess #FIDEWorldCup2023
