Chessable Masters: Indian chess prodigy Praggnanandhaa R stuns Magnus Carlsen yet again
Xtra Time Web Desk: Indian chess prodigy Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu has stunned posted world champion Magnus Carlsen yet again, second time in 2022 at the 5th round of the Chessable Masters online rapid chess tournament on Friday. The win kept Praggnanandhaa’s chances alive of progressing to the knockout stage after the win over Carlsen.
The 5th-round match at the USD 150,000 online tournament headed towards a draw but a one-move blunder from Carlsen - a misplaced black knight in his 40th move - brought his sudden death.
Praggnandha took his tally to 12 points while Carlsen was 2nd on the leaderboard behind China's Wei Yi on Day 2 of the tournament.
This is not the first time the Indian chess Grandmaster has prevailed over the Norwegian. The 16-year-old Praggnanandha beat Magnus Carlsen for the first time in February at Airthings Masters, an online rapid chess tournament.
