Chess World Cup 2023 Final Highlights, Praggnanandhaa vs Carlsen: Carlsen beats Praggnanandhaa in tie-breaks to win the title
Praggnanandhaa vs Magnus Carlsen, World Chess Championship 2023 Final: Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa's dream run in the FIDE World Cup ended at the hands of world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, who beat him 1.5-0.5 in the tie-breaks on Thursday after the classical games ended in a stalemate.

One cannot overlook Carlsen's credentials, even in shorter time controls as he has won four World Rapid title and five World Blitz crown. He is the reigning champion in both formats

WHO SAID WHAT
15:06 (IST) Aug 24
The Indian followers can take the liberty to feel that tie-breaks can be anybody's game
15:06 (IST) Aug 24
Fighting spirit, nerve, ability to soak in pressure play bigger roles and remember that Carlsen is dominant and experienced, but Pragg is 14 years younger
15:06 (IST) Aug 24
Since there is not much 'recovery' and 'regrouping' possibility due to paucity of time in shorter time controls, mistakes generally happen from both players
15:06 (IST) Aug 24
Considering momentum and battle-readiness, Carlsen and Prag start on equal footing and the knockout format, too, underlines that

Chess World Cup Final: Plus, many games of shorter time control don't come under the purview of FIDE's rating calculation hence ratings can't give a complete picture

Chess World Cup Final: However, that is more applicable in standard time control

Chess World Cup Final: Generally speaking, a rating difference of 200 points means difference in 'class'
14:35 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup Final: Prag's corresponding rating strength is 2645 and 2623
14:35 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup Final: Carlsen is rated 2825 and 2887 in rapid (15 to 25 minutes) and blitz (5-14 minute games) respectively

Chess World Cup 2023 Championship: Praggnanandhaa Gains
13:57 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup 2023: Carlsen is hungry for this title. Forget winning it, he had never reached the final of this tournament
13:57 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup 2023: But then, the stakes are higher here as it's on a global stage with a top prize of $110,000
13:57 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup 2023: That's half the battle won, especially against Magnus Carlsen, whom Prag has beaten five times in short time controls
13:57 (IST) Aug 24
Chess World Cup 2023: Prag, though, isn't short on confidence, having already beaten world No. 3 Hikaru Nakamura, friend Erigaisi Arjun and No. 2 Fabiano Caruana in the shorter format
13:57 (IST) Aug 24
Though R Praggnanandhaa has increased his chances of winning this match by taking it to the tie-breaks, it won't be entirely right to expect a smooth and successful landing
