FIDE World Cup 2023 Finals: Praggnanandhaa fights Carlsen to a solid draw - ChessBase India

R Praggnanandhaa played confidently in the first game of the FIDE World Cup 2023 Finals against Magnus Carlsen (NOR). He unleashed a rarely played move 7.b4 in the English Opening. It did not seem like the teenager is playing the Finals of a World Cup for the first time in his career. He is oozing confidence, whereas Carlsen has suffered food poisoning as he mentioned in the post-game interview. One key thing which Pragg keeps mentioning is, Carlsen has not played enough tie-breaks, which definitely shows his confidence. If it comes to down to the tie-breaks, one thing is for sure, the recently turned 18-year-old is the favorite in this event. Fabiano Caruana (USA) blundered in a slightly difficult position to lose against the local favorite Nijat Abasov (AZE) in just 26 moves.
