Tata Steel Chess Tournament, Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa
Indian chess winter at Wijk!
Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa on winning his first TATA STEEL event in Wijk aan Zee. The last day was not typical at all of his play. He played many brilliant games, but yesterday he got outplayed, then tenaciously defended a lost position. The tragedy for him was after getting close to the desired goal of a draw he blundered again. Gukesh had lost a while ago to Arjun, so we were in the unusual situation of both title contenders losing their games and going to the tiebreak.
In the tiebreak, Praggnanandhaa lost the first game before winning the next two to become the 2025 champion. Given what he had been through, just hanging in there would have been an unimaginable effort
Gukesh also ended his tournament with a loss which was not representative of his play in the event and for the second year in a row, he lost the tiebreak. Nonetheless, this performance right after winning the world title confirms he is as hungry as ever!
Mere pass panch hai .. IYKYK!
