Chinese world No. 2 Ding Liren seized the advantage against India’s teenaged Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa in the final of the Chessable Masters online tournament, taking a 2.5-1.5 lead after the opening day of the match in the wee hours on Thursday.

The 16-year old, who lost the opening game of the all-Asian final, bounced back strongly to level the first match when he won the second game. Liren then showed why he is rated so highly by taking the lead and outwitting the youngster in the third game. The fourth game saw the two sign peace in 39 moves as Liren took a one-point advantage into Day 2 of the summit clash. The second day of the final will also feature four games and the tie-break if required. Praggnanandhaa, who had to appear for his Class XI examination after seeing off Anish Giri on Wednesday, has been making waves since the preliminary phase.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
