Magnus Carlsen's resignation gambit kicks up row

Magnus Carlsen's decision to resign after just one move against Hans Niemann, the 19-year-old American GM, in the sixth round of the online Generation Cup on Monday night created quite a stir and taken away the spotlight from two Indians (Arjun and Praggu), who are leading at the half-way mark of the league phase.

Chess World Cup Final: A Look At R Praggnanandhaa's Record Against Magnus Carlsen

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.

Carlsen paid the price for a provocative choice of the risky 1 d4 b5 as Black against Radoslaw Wojtaszek. However, the Warsaw Rapid/Blitz took place over five days, and on Thursday Carlsen stormed through the field with seven straight wins to take first prize, surviving a final round 124-move marathon against Poland’s No 1, Jan-Krzysztof Duda.
