Young Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa went down to Dutch GM Anish Giri 2.5-3.5 in the second round of the Meltwater Champions Tour Finals here today. Arjun Erigaisi was outclassed by world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen.

Carlsen won the first game in 75 moves and then held on for a draw in 86 moves. He secured a 41-move victory in the third to seal a 2.5-0.5 win.

In the other second-round matches, Quang Liem Le of Vietnam hammered American Wesley So 2.5-0.5 and Jan-Krzysztof Duda of Poland defeated Azerbaijan’s Shakhriyar Mamedyarov 2.5-1.5. Carlsen tops the standings, while Praggnanandhaa is in the sixth spot and Erigaisi is yet to open his account.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.
