Praggnanandhaa takes on five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen on Tuesday.
Details :- In the seventh round of the Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger on Monday, world champion Ding Liren managed to break his losing streak by securing a draw against 18-year-old Praggnanandhaa of India, after losing four straight rounds earlier. However, Praggnanandhaa defeated Ding in the Armageddon battle that ensued after the draw.
During her own game on Monday, Anna Muzychuk, the current leader of the women’s Norway Chess event, made sure to bring up Ding when she went to the confessional booth. After her game, she also talked at length in interviews about the difficulties of being a chess player.
We chess players occasionally all experience trying times, so I’d like to support Ding. Regretfully, Ding is experiencing this now. I want to encourage him and hope he returns to playing his best chess since I think competition is greatest when all players are giving it their all to decide the victor. When I was in similar circumstances in the past, other players came to my aid, and it was priceless.
For Ding, let’s do the same,” she uttered.
Tuesday’s matchup pits Praggnanandhaa against Magnus Carlsen, whom he defeated in the competition a few days ago to win the match for the first time in classical chess. Pragg is in third place, although Carlsen is still ahead in the rankings. In the meantime, Vaishali dropped to third place behind Muzychuk and world champion Ju Wenjun after suffering her second straight loss against fellow countrywoman Humpy Koneru in the women’s division.
