Chess World Cup: Praggnanandhaa vs Carlsen 2nd game ends in draw

The Hindu  

Recovering from a bout of food poisoning, an unwell Magnus Carlsen chose to play out a quick draw that R. Praggnanandhaa did not mind. For the record, so far in the competition, Carlsen figured in only four tie-break games — all against young German Vincent Keymer — while Praggnanandhaa played two against Hikaru Nakamura, seven against Arjun Erigiasi and four against Fabiano Caruana. “It doesn’t matter,” said Praggnanandha when asked about having more experience of playing tie-break games, than Carlsen, in this World Cup. Hopefully, I’ll have more strength on Thursday.” Showing respect for his young rival, the World No 1 said, “He has already played a lot of tie-break games against some very strong players. If I have the energy, if I have a good day, obviously, I will have a good chance.” Later, the battle for the third place also moved to Thursday when Fabiano Caruana defeated local hope Nijat Asabov in 59 moves to avenge the loss suffered on Tuesday.
