Praggnanandhaa Outplays Carlsen at the Las Vegas Freestyle Chess
Two Big Wins Against the Chess Titan
The teenage Indian chess prodigy R Praggnanandhaa became the second player in the world to defeat the No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in less than three days. His recent achievements were a classification game where he secured the third position in Las Vegas Freestyle Chess. He had previously knocked off Carlsen in the other classification round earlier in the same tournament to continue through the brackets.
This game has been of great excitement to the fans and analysts in the chess arena, who most of them keep up to date on 12BET odds. Praggnanandhaa is displaying the touch of form about which legends are written.
Queen Sacrifice Backfires for Carlsen
This time when they played tilting against each other, Praggnanandhaa as the one playing with white pieces made Carlsen give-up after 43 moves of extreme tension. It was an ambitious move as on move number 18 Carlsen sacrificed his queen in order to obtain a bishop and a knight. At one point it even seemed that the Norwegian would scratch his way back, snatching a second bishop off of Praggnanandhaa.
Yet the Indian grandmaster did not lose composure. He took a decisive lead on move 41, and it resulted in a forced checkmate position. Soon, Carlsen resigned and it sealed the second win, dramatic style of the Indian grandmaster.
The 12BET India offered live odds of the win and the chess fans got a first-row view to the battle of wits that was ensuing.
Earlier Victory Set the Tone
