Pragg beats Gukesh after sudden twist, wins Reykjavik Open

4/12/2022 – Praggnanandhaa entered the final round of the Reykjavik Open sharing the lead with Max Warmerdam and Mads Andersen. Warmerdam and Andersen played on top board and signed a 16-move draw, while Pragg’s position deteriorated slowly but surely in his game against Gukesh. The latter eventually reached a winning position, but back-to-back blunders not only gave away his advantage but even allowed his opponent to get the full point. Thus, 16-year-old Praggnanandhaa became the ourtight winner of the event! | Photo: Hallfríður Sigurðardóttir (from round 4)

60m van Wely Anti Sicilian

Tired of spending hours and hours on the boring theory of your favourite opening? Then here is your solution, play an Anti-Sicilian with 3.Bb5 against 2...d6 or 2...Nc6, and 3.d3 against 2...e6. In 60 minutes you will get a crash course in how to avoid mainstream theory and in understanding the ideas of this Anti-Sicilian setup. After these 60 minutes you should be able to survive the Sicilian for a long time, without being bothered by new developments found by engine x supported by an x-core machine. Now that it finally comes down to understanding, let's play chess!

Congrats Praggu!
A few years back , a journalist who visited your Chennai house wrote "Praggu was watching cartoon channels on TV reminding us that he was still a kid!"
Of course, you have grown into a teen now but back home still fondly remembered as a child prodigy.

This has been fun to watch.
It's a pitting Ding Liren could not have been these to play and make up his games deficit and had to play in China against specific competition.
Perhaps... he had another VISA issue?

eric b:- I can't say I've noticed but this one is clearly given in the introductory description.

Can anyone answer that question? When Chessbase posts articles on new tournaments they almost never say what the time controls will be. Speed chess? Rapid chess? Classical games? They usually give all the details except that. The time control offen determines if I'll be interested or not. I'm left searching links and official websites to find out the time control. And even then, it's still often hard to find! Frustrating.
