R Praggnanandhaa vs Magnus Carlsen Live Streaming Game 2: When And Where To Watch FIDE Chess World Cup Final?

The first day of the FIDE Chess World Cup final saw World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen and India's R Praggnanandhaa settling for a draw. The final, which is being held in Baku (Azerbaijan), enters the second day's action, where both Gandmasters would look to cancel each other and bag the elusive title. However, if the second day's action also ends in a draw, the name of the winner will be decided via a tie-breaker.

R Praggnanandhaa impressed everyone by becoming the second Indian chess player ever in history after the legendary Viswanathan Anand to reach the final of Chess World Cup. He defeated Fabiano Caruana 3.5-2.5 in a tight semi-final clash to set up his match against five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen. While Praggnanandhaa has been quite impressive in the past couple of years, the challenge of facing a renowned player like Carlsen is always massive. The Norwegian grandmaster is a former five-time World Chess Champion and current four-time World Rapid Chess Champion and current six-time World Blitz Chess Champion. He claimed the top rank in the FIDE world chess rankings back in 2011 and only Garry Kasparov has spent more time as the top player in the world.
