Praggnanandhaa clearly dominated the rapid games. He won the first set 2.5-0.5 and the second set 2-0.
In the first game of day two Praggnanandhaa had White and tried a quiet and positional line (6.Bd3) against Pranav's Najdorf. Pragg soon got a dangerous initiative but Pranav defended well. However, he finally collapsed under the ongoing pressure.
In the second game Pranav had White and the King's Indian attack to get winning chances but Pragg kept cool and managed to liquidate into a rook ending in which he was clearly better. However, a number of inaccuracies by Pragg gave Pranav good drawing chances. But then Pranav returned the compliment and Pragg won the game.
Pranav is now trailing 0-2 and has two win both blitz sets to equalize the match.
