@@augustineponga4133 Thats just some general statement. Im saying in this specific case Hikaru played really really bad when he didnt have to. If it was forced than that would be a different story, but it wasnt. Hikaru had many choices and chose really bad ones.
Pragg is really setting himself apart as a Magnus caliber level player. I always see him win. Just a majorly impressive chess player. He'll be one of the legends.
I don't know about you guys, but I feel Prag eventually broke through that 2700 ceiling for good. He's so young this sounds extremely promising. Something's going on around that part of the world: Central Asia + India. So many promising youngsters are rising around there, so many of them seem to be able to reach that SuperGM status. This will be exciting to follow their rising (or dificulty in climbing) to the very top in the next few years.
I have been saying for the last 2 years that among the Indian young players - in my opinion Pragg is the strongest. Despite the fact that Gukesh is number 1 in the ranking of Indian players
Belated Happiest Birthday Praggnanandha🎉You are my favourite chess player, You got the best character out there💞 May Bhagwan bless you with loads of Happiness🙏🕉️
Pragg said he is a fan of Hikaru. But, good that he did not pick up the sportsmanship spirit (or rather lack of it) from Hikaru. He still waited and reareanged his pieces while the sore loser just left.
To be fair, Hikaru had no choice but to play for a win. Pragg beat Hikaru on the first game. So a draw from Hikaru is the same as a loss. He had to throw caution to the wind. And Pragg made him pay.
Pragg even declined a draw at 05:04 when it would've secured him the match immediately. Of course he's totally winning but it still says a lot about his confidence. There was nothing really to gain except for a few rapid elo points.
@@universalplayz7496 Not everybody sees it like that. Even Nepo, So or Nihal took draws in winning positions in the rapid to secure their matches. And it happens all the time in knockout events for understandable reasons.
Still so many players left. Gukesh and Arjun in good form. Fabi, Duda are there who meet each other. Nepo is still in and a clash between Nepo and Magnus is also possible. But, I would love to see Gukesh vs Vidit semi final guaranteeing a place in the candidates for one of them. Though looks a bit too much at the moment. Vidit is in form but Nepo is not an easy nut to crack. Gukesh had his first real tough test and he passed it. In the other half, Arjun vs Pragg quarter final looms. This is the best chance for an Indian player to reach atleast the semi final and then may be the final and candidates. Really excited. Good luck to all players.
@@bolte9093 I'm saving this comment (I'm a Carlsen fan) If Magnus eliminates them I will make fun of you If they do eiminate Magnus you win lol and you do whatever you want
Beware arrogance! Prag knew he was the underdog, so he played it safe. And guess what? He amazed everyone by defeating the top dogs! **Pretty cool, **goosebumps**
Pragg has improved a lot!! more than a "genius kid" back in the days, always hoped ppl recognized his gentleman values and competitive hearth, one day he'll be world champion
In chessbase India RUclips channel Pragnananda and Hikaru Nakamura played match was most viewed but that game was DRAW by excellent move by Pragnananda. But now HE DID IT AND HE DESERVE IT FOR THIS WINNING. Congratulations Pragnananda .
India Chess is becoming a dominant force in the world. We might in the coming decades have a top 10 highest rated in the world active chess players majority from India. And also another Indian World Chess Champion.
pragnananda cornered hikaru's king to h6, depending on whichever way the king moves, it will be a check mate. eg. if king stayed at h6, bishop would move to f5, blocking g6 h7 , then rook to h7 would be checkmate. if king moved to g6 instead of h6, then white pawn to f5 checking the king, black knight knocks f5 , e4 pawn recaptures black knight, eventually checkmate. same way, if king moved to h5 , bishop to f5, finally rook to h7, checkmate. in all possible scenario, hikaru loses by checkmate.
Why hikaru resigned? If Hikaru takes bishop with knight than he left with only rook.. if he doesn't than checkmate from the rook.. Brilliantly played by Praggnanandhaa 🇮🇳
4:47 at this point there was a weird engine tactic. Instead of Nxb8 ,play Nxf6 sacrificing the knight. If black accepts the sacrifice by recapturing with the king, it's a forced mate in #22. These engine tactics are way beyond human capabilities.
Pragg is not in the bracket of magnus carlsen....so most probably if magnus beats gukesh and nepo beats vidit then magnus vs nepo will happen in semifinal and in 2nd bracket if pragg beats arjun then fabiano vs pragg will happen and because magnus and nepo is already into candidates so fabi and pragg will instantly become candidates ...no matter they win or loose just by reaching semifinals they will get the ticket for candidates.
I hope Pragg becomes a Ramanujan of chess and an eventual world champion. May he live much longer than the beloved Indian mathematician who burned so brightly, but left us much too soon. I haven't been this excited to see a new chess talent since Magnus was about 10 years old. Pragg seems so grounded and mature.
6:56 As we can see here hikaru is applying saliva on his fingers just same way he did it with magnus when he knew he screwed up , so he is passing it pnto pragg through handshake😂😂
5:02, prag made a mistake. Before moving the queen to take rook , he could move the rook and make a double attack. If he did this move probably he would save his queen ...😊
Yeah, but then he would be exchanging two rooks for the queen. In the end, it would be white Queen vs two black rooks whereas here, it is equalised with a rook on either side. I don't know which is strategically better😅
Hello sir could u please tell what's the best form of opening?I am one of your biggest fan . You are such a big inspiration for me .. I have my match tomorrow please guide...for white ...
I think Praggnanandhaa did a wrong at 5:01 minutes, he should have used rook and give a check to the king, so the king has to move or the queen has to kill the rook, if the queen kills the rook then the other rook can kill the queen and if the king moves the rook can kill the queen.
@@videocreators1848 nah ! If he did that then the final outcome would be : prag : 1 queen + 0 rook and naka: 2 rook , absolutely that'd to be the worst move
The thing that differentiates Prag from other youngsters is he is fearless, competitive but at the same time he is not over emotional. Belated Happy Birthday Praggnanandha🧡
If others are hard working , Prag is next level Hard working and genius
There are other young players who are fearless, competitive and not overly emotional, BUT lack the enormous talent Prag possesses.
He is awesome man. I mean Kung fu panda awesome.
Gotta say man...Pragg is on fire rn
I mean if you watched his games during that tournament in Dubai.

Just new people getting into chess thats it
I have been saying for the last 2 years that among the Indian young players - in my opinion Pragg is the strongest. Despite the fact that Gukesh is number 1 in the ranking of Indian players
Pragg is stronger in rapid because he got a lot of opportunities to play against Magnus and other strong players in the previous champions chess tour
But Pragg is not as consistent as gukesh
Pragg was 17 at this world cup start and just turned 18.
Youngest ever player to reach the final.

Can anyone explain last moves why they do quit
Error
pragnananda cornered hikaru's king to h6, depending on whichever way the king moves, it will be a check mate. eg. if king stayed at h6, bishop would move to f5, blocking g6 h7 , then rook to h7 would be checkmate.
if king moved to g6 instead of h6, then white pawn to f5 checking the king, black knight knocks f5 , e4 pawn recaptures black knight, eventually checkmate.
same way, if king moved to h5 , bishop to f5, finally rook to h7, checkmate.
in all possible scenario, hikaru loses by checkmate.
