Freestyle Chess Grand Slam: Carlsen Beats Pragg & Arjun, Sets Third-place Showdown With Nakamura
Freestyle Chess Grand Slam: World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen avenged his previous defeat to India's Grandmaster Praggnanandhaa, clinching a 3-1 victory in a closely contested four-game match on Sunday (IST).
After a chaotic first-round loss to Praggnanandhaa, the world number one ground down the Indian star to force tiebreaks and then reeled off five consecutive wins – including those over Arjun Erigaisi.
The clash between Carlsen and Praggnanandhaa started with an absolutely wild game. Praggnanandhaa built up a big advantage and when Carlsen missed a simple pawn push, he felt obliged to give up his queen for just two minor pieces. That shouldn’t have been enough, but when the young Indian blundered a full piece, it was quite unclear again, Freestyle chess reports.
