Chennai: R Praggnanandhaa seems to be at his best when playing World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen. After having beaten the Norwegian at the Air-things Masters in February and the Chessable Masters in May this year, Praggu got the better of Carlsen 4-2 in the final round of Miami’s FTX Crypto Cup on Sunday — an online event part of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour.
The super show notwithstanding, finished second, taking home $37,000. Carlsen won the event with 16 points as opposed to Praggu’s 15. The 17year-old prodigy said there is always an extra impetus to win when he takes on Carlsen. “It is a big motivation each time I play him because he is such a tough player. You have to be on top of your game facing Carlsen,” he told TOI.
