Arjun Erigaisi vs Praggnanandhaa Live, Chess World Cup 2023: The winner of the Erigaise-Praggnanandhaa clash will play Fabiano Caruana in the semifinal
Chess World Cup 2023 Live, Arjun Erigaisi vs Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa: Arjun Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa headed into the third stage of the tiebreak (with a time control of 5 minutes for each player + 3 seconds increment per move) after Pragg won the first game with the time control of 10+10 but was then unable to prevent Arjun from levelling.
Whoever wins the tie-breaker on Thusday will be the fourth player in the FIDE World Cup’s semi-final.
With Magnus Carlsen having announced that he has no interest in playing in the Candidates, the winner of the Arjun versus Praggnanandhaa game is more or less assured a spot in the Candidates Tournament, which is played to determine the challenger to world champion Ding Liren.
