Magnus Carlsen with the black pieces in the ongoing Pro Chess League on Tuesday. The young Indian Yogis team outplayed the star studded line-up of Canada Chessbrahs. India #2, Vidit has defeated Carlsen for the first time in a competitive game. With this, he joins the list of few Indian players who have managed to pull off a victory against the long standing World Champion. Vidit is leading the Indian Yogis team. In the Pro Chess League match on Tuesday night, the Indian team fielded Vidit, Vaishali, Raunak and Aronyak against Magnus, Aryan Tari, Razvan Preotu and Jennifer Yu. Going into the final round with a score deficit of one point, the Yogis needed to win the game by a big margin. As per the format, the team that first reaches the score of 8.5 wins the game. And the Yogis simply turned the tables by winning on all the four boards with Vidit leading the pack on the top board.
