After two days of classic chess contests, India's R Praggnanandhaa and World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen remain unseparated at the FIDE Chess World Cup.

The winner of the competition will be decided in the tie-breaker that will be contested on Thursday. Unlike the Game 1 and Game 2, the players would need to be much faster in deciding their moves and the time-bound activities will see at least one of them make a mistake under pressure.

Praggnanandhaa, who has already beaten the World No. 3 Fabio Caruana in the semi-finals via tie-breaks, could consider himself a slight favourite against Carlsen in the final.

The final had to be pushed to tie-breaks after both India's teenage prodigy Praggnanandhaa and the numero uno player Carlsen ended their two classical games in draws.
