🇮🇳 Praggnanandhaa R wins Tata Steel Masters 2025, securing his maiden "Wimbledon of Chess" title 🏆
In a dramatic turn of events, the World Champion 🇮🇳 Gukesh D, who had led for most of the tournament and entered the final round as a joint leader with 8.5/12, suffered a crucial loss as White against his compatriot 🇮🇳 Arjun Erigaisi.
Meanwhile, 🇮🇳 Praggnanandhaa, the other co-leader, had a chance to claim the title outright but needed to hold an inferior position against 🇩🇪 Vincent Keymer. However, he was unable to do so, and as a result, both Gukesh D and Praggnanandhaa finished with 8.5/13, tying for first place.
To determine the champion, a blitz tiebreaker was held. After the opponents traded blows in the first two games, Praggnanandhaa turned tables in the third sudden-death encounter to win down-a-pawn endgame and clinch the title.
