Arjun Erigaisi vs Raunak Sadhwani - Gritty Defense and Pretty Finish | World Rapid 2022 Round 2

[@_sushantprabhu]

Arjun's queen on f2 functioned like a pawn yet he so elegantly won the game with the real pawn.

[@VARMOT123]

arjun had a winning position against magnus . could've gone 5/5

[@keshavmundada4791]

Thats not winning,it was just little bit better,if you play some moves further,engine will eventually show drawish line and also its magnus always resourceful

[@MannanGoel]

The good thing was that he was totally comfortable against him. Played like a top-quality player. Great game, would give him confidence and Arjun looks in some form

[@aravindnair1987]

@@keshavmundada4791 he had a good advantage...watch magnus interview...he himself said he was probably losing

[@VARMOT123]

@@keshavmundada4791 it was +1.5 . magnus himself said that

@@aravindnair1987 practically i dont know the position to how extent it was worse but objectively it was not winning as such

[@rachit6366]

Raunak played amazingly. So sad for him that he fell short in the end.

[@ajju2666]

The guy can literally outplay anyone with his opening prep, but fails to convert it... We saw that in Olympiad as well.. Hopefully he ll impove that part of his game, still very young...

Arjun.❤️

[@silverballer7342]

Both the Bishops and that static pawn was saving Arjun Ergaisi in the whole game.

[@karanpunjabi1861]

Man raunak is better almost throughout the game.... Tough luck....

[@hsemarubab]

Not playing the opening move for so long after the clock start.. is that a mindgame? Also, he opened with B3 then 😀

[@gunasekaranp1241]

insane ending... that h pawn doing the stuff and rook in h file helping it...

[@harishthenappan2029]

Nice game play by arjun 💜💙

[@hsemarubab]

Sagar bhai, you are running such a big company and you couldn't find out why Pragg and Gukesh are not playing? 😛

[@vibhor5015]

Raunak panics under time pressure. Something similar happened in Olympiad. Such a strong blitz player, hard to understand this. But, arjun is beast at taking advantage of that.

[@Thedukeofchess]

Cray cray game I gotta look at this game

[@ravimanju7294]

Does Arjun use the same opening against most of them?? But whatever, He's reached 40 odd ranks above in the last few quarters.

[@complement4u173]

why did raunak move knight h5when white pown on h6?

[@VARMOT123]

at the start,someone is asking about the sponsor name . LOL everyone in chess world knows about it . yo chess base india,who was asking that ?

[@prakyathprakash5180]

I think it was the photographer Lennart Ootes...

[@sivareddy6497]

Why are they not streaming

[@raulama1]

Nice game

[@igorpereira7882]

why didnt he just move king and block the pawn?

[@uwedegenhardt]

Because then the bishop strikes the knight with check and the pawn promotes to queen with checkmate.

[@hardikkalia8744]

Freedom broker in the end 😂😂

[@mcronrn]

Wow 👏👏👏

[@yousfhr1726]

Is that shake hands means a draw?

[@uwedegenhardt]

No. It means that Arjun won.

[@ramkrishnajain4188]

Arjun is better than raunak..... 📚 Because raunak had advantage 🔥but missed

[@djssaravanan5132]

Hi sir

[@nedstark5895]

Looking at Raunak performance,one can understand that currently he is not even close to the top indian youngstars:Arjun,Nihal,Pragg and Gukesh...sad but true
