Praggnanandhaa crushes his opponent with a queen sacrifice in 29 moves

Praggnanandhaa played the penultimate round of the Tata Steel Masters 2025 against Alexey Sarana. While Sarana had an excellent start to the event until round 9, he collapsed in the last 2 rounds and came to the game in not so great form. Pragg showed why he is someone to be really careful against, as he completely decimated his opponent and beat him with a queen sacrifice in 29 moves. Commentary by IM Sagar Shah.

Thank you for all of the coverage Sagar. Your passion for the game is beautiful, and your videos inspire me to play more chess. I have 35k games and sometimes I feel bored. I tune in to your analysis of these top tournaments and I want to play more and think deeper. Thank you for all you do to progress the game of chess.

[@LearnAllChessopeningswithVinay]

People love pragg more than gukesh because of his humbleness

[@hariarunesh5940]

Guki is even more humble 😂

[@Neilarora-k5z]

Pragg is definitely humble but gukesh is the humblest of all youngsters but you wanna compare continue…..

[@Rightbrando]

Stop yapping lil vigga Gukesh ain't someone from your Home stop spreading hate

[@iconboys5758]

If you are talking about humbleness or simplicity, gukesh will be the first player of chess that reminds me of

[@ThamizhLife]

They both are amazing youngsters🏆 don't compare please

[@Rajinikanthan-x4y]

2 hat-trick from Pragg... In this year Wijk Aan Zee, 2025, What a spectacular performance... Pragg has momentum... All he have to do is sail with it and fly past the Finish Line....✌️😎👍

[@akarshpandey4648]

We want Pragg vs D Gukesh in play off, it will be exciting asf

[@AyushRAJ-lm4yo]

Keep it up, pragg.

[@Rajinikanthan-x4y]

Sagar Bhai in the penultimate round : Pragg has great chance to win Wijk Aan Zee, 2025 Me : been saying this from the start...✌️😎👍

[@farmer-m6y]

don't tell the result in the title

[@JK-cj3qe]

For views obviously...it's okay though

[@listen2lucki]

It is a match that involves a queen sacrifice and a win in 29 moves this will get more views and why would people want to watch this if they didn’t say this

[@kalakalthedad]

​@@listen2lucki nah boy I want to see who wins and how he wins he should learn from levy

[@listen2lucki]

@@kalakalthedad then go watch Gotham chess. Whoever clicks on this video wants to see how Pragg won in 29 moves with a queen sacrifice. Not a huge deal.

[@kalakalthedad]

@listen2lucki I did boy why are you so frustrated who hurt you?

[@Milkyway_galaxy_522]

Pragg on his all time peak rating🥳

[@shivaji856]

Everyone trained like Praggnananda or Gukesh wouldnot become grand masters automatically. They have some natural talent that is brushed upon

[@ariellajarca8434]

Is not really a quess sacrifice..... positionally Pragg can is a sure win on this game. Its just easier and quicker is the quess will be used

[@guitarhub9064]

bro but many people wouldnt go for a queen sac atleast one has to be at a very high level in chess like GM to make these sacs

[@guitarhub9064]

so it is not that easy like you say

[@bhandariaryan06]

11:24 the second arbiter was soo cute❤

[@brianlittrell797]

I wonder why the commentator, Sagar, doesn't compete in big tournaments like this one. He seems super strong at chess.

[@datdudeinred]

I just love the 11yr old oro in the back 😂❤

Good play . But Gukesh performance is consistent .

[@kumarraj4804]

Thumbnail showing queen sac and everyone forget that😂

[@Corteum]

He didnt crush him in 29 moves. Rather, Sarana blundered in 21 moves

[@PeduBud]

Rooting for for Pragg today over Gukesh

Great game from Pragg but Jordan played terribly. I genuinely feel bad for him.

[@Harish-r5g9y]

i bet gukesh or pragg wins it. nodirbek has a chance

[@RaSiddharth]

Only chance for nodirbek is tie breaks but thats 0.001% pragg or gukesh wont lose

[@iamsooraj69]

bro its obvious they are at top of the table you said nothing new😂

[@GatheringStorrm]

His opponent has a name...

[@insaneyoungster6223]

That was not a Queen sacrifice. That was a mate in two🤷

Pragg rank and world points

[@AmanKumar-ef7xz]

Faustino is my son

[@nia.auralis]

whats wrong with alexey? cant he just sit down properly and focus on the match instead of wandering. he left his seat too much

[@priyesh9404]

Why don't we get players like Mikheil Tal and Rashid Nazmidino

[@sdd67]

That time there were limited very resources . Like they would study positions with their team/ masters , and opponent would never knew that kind of prep . Now all the sources are there books, Engines available for everyone . So it's hard to play like that . I strongly believe current players are far better than earlier players .

[@kadylack1]

Great 👌👌

[@kewalsinha2393]

Mujhe lagta hai aapko board ka layout ek side me lga ke half screen jitna bada kar dena chahiye. Players ka chehra dekhna bahut important nhi hai, unko second half ke half me lga sakte hain. Baaki me kuchh trivia ya points table ya promotions chala sakte hain

Why can't these two nerds sit still? They're very annoying. These two chess players suck. They might as well play online and not have to see each other.!!!! I'm out of here!!!!

[@sdd67]

Good for you . They play for 5-6+ hours . If moving is allowed during game then why not ? Would you sit at one position for such long hrs? All classical players do this . *All*

[@greekgo7653]

what a shitload comment, this is hours of content into 15 mins, moments are shown when they play moves and get up, get yo ass outta here
