Praggnanandhaa beats the first 2800+ player of his life in classical chess – world no.2 Ding Liren

Praggnanandhaa has shown what a special player he is in rapid and blitz formats where he has beaten so many top players including Magnus Carlsen at the Champions Chess Tour. However, a question that always remained in the minds of fans was – how good is Pragg in classical chess?

Well, the 17-year-old put that question to rest as he beat the world no.2, rated 2811 – Ding Liren. Ding is in excellent form in this event as he beat Gukesh in round 1, had a great position against Maghsoodloo in round 2 and easily drew his game against Carlsen in round 3. However, Pragg managed to outplay his esteemed opponent from a position that looked like it was heading towards a draw! Brilliant play by the Indian youngster. Check out the video with analysis by IM Sagar Shah.

PS: By the time the game ended it was 1.30 a.m. on 18th of January and that made the win even more special as 18th is the 7th anniversary of ChessBase India and we had Pragg winning with close 4500 people concurrently watching it online!

  22. We just love watching Pragg's journey to 2900 and the world champion!!! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ

  23. Prag shot down liren with a fantastic win.

  24. The variation you get that are not played are of 4000 level. Where do you get them? AlphaZero?

  25. It is not the first time ,he has also beaten magnus carlsan

  26. Ding is preparing for WCC and didn't want to disclose his c4 & d4. So he played not so familiar e4 openings and that's what I think the reason Ding lost. Anyway congrats to Pragg.

  27. Good win by Pragg but please stop overhyping indian chess players. Big wins here and there yet none of the youngsters have consistently won against top players or won any major tournaments. Rather than celebrating every win, let them quietly go about improving their performances and start treating every big win like a normal win. Instead of feeling as they are underdogs, let them feel as if they belong with the elite and their mentality will improve. When you feel like a champion you'll play like a champion.

  28. Congratulation to pragg ..now he gotta keep fighting and beat few more players and even try to win this event . Let's gooo โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅณโœจ
