Exciting Update from the Chess World Cup Final 2023 from Baku, Azerbaijan: What a thrilling match it’s been! The Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa and the world’s top-ranked Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen just wrapped up their first game with a draw after 35 moves, and it was a display of sheer determination from both sides. The action isn’t over yet though – the second game is up next.
If the winner isn’t determined in the second game either, get ready for some nail-biting tie-breakers! This marks the 20th time that Praggnanandhaa and Carlsen are facing off, and it’s been a close competition with Carlsen having a slight edge in their previous encounters.
Amazingly, Praggnanandhaa, at just 18 years old, has become the youngest Indian finalist ever. His journey to the final was absolutely remarkable, including a tense semi-final where he clinched victory 3.5-2.5 against Fabiano Caruana, thanks to a crucial tiebreak win.
It’s worth mentioning that the last Indian to make it to the final was the legendary Viswanathan Anand, a two-time World Cup champion in 2000 and 2002. The excitement is building, and we can’t wait to see how this epic showdown between Praggnanandhaa and Carlsen unfolds.
Both players will return for Game 2 of final
Get ready for another exciting round, as both players are gearing up for Game 2 of the final tomorrow. Praggnanandhaa pulled off an impressive victory against World No. 3 Fabiano Caruana earlier this week, securing his spot in the summit clash with Carlsen at the FIDE World Cup.
By reaching the final, Praggnanandhaa has joined an elite group, becoming the third youngest player to achieve this feat. The only players ahead of him in this remarkable accomplishment are the legendary Bobby Fischer and the incredible Carlsen. It’s truly an inspiring journey that’s unfolding right before our eyes.
