Carlsen Falls Again as Praggnanandhaa Scripts Another Masterclass

Indian chess sensation R. Praggnanandhaa scripted another memorable chapter in his career by defeating World No.1 Magnus Carlsen once again at the prestigious Norway Chess tournament in Oslo. The young Grandmaster achieved a remarkable feat by beating the Norwegian legend for the second time in the classical format during the event, further cementing his status as one of the brightest stars in world chess.

Having already defeated Carlsen in the third round of the tournament, Praggnanandhaa carried the same confidence into their latest encounter. Playing with the black pieces, the Indian Grandmaster employed brilliant strategic play to keep Carlsen under constant pressure. The Norwegian star struggled with time management throughout the game, and a crucial mistake on the 48th move (Kf4) proved costly. Praggnanandhaa immediately capitalized on the error, launched a decisive queen attack, and secured a historic victory just two moves later.
