Did Caruana punish Pragg's opening mistake? | World Cup 2023 Semi-finals | Commentary by Sagar

Playing with the white pieces at the absolute top level, you generally want to put pressure on your opponent. White pieces gives you a chance to press. However, something quite unusual happened in the game between Praggnanandhaa and Fabiano Caruana. This was their second classical game at the FIDE World Cup 2023 Semi-finals. The first one had ended in a draw. Pragg had the white pieces and everyone expected him to try for an opening advantage. But after just 15 moves, he was in big trouble! What happened? And did Pragg manage to wriggle out of the mess? Check out the game along with the commentary by IM Sagar Shah.

MAGNUS SHAKE HANDS TO A GHOST

[@voicenadar1762]

I think they are legally required to offer a handshake at the start of the game, Magnus is mocking that.

11:52 in this position there can be also knight takes rook takes and then rook gives check and after that pragg can take rook with bishop... Share your thoughts on this 😄😄

[@siddhantmohan2824]

c4 Nxc4 Rxc4 Rd8+ Kg7 Bxc4 Rxc4, and Black has two knights for a rook and a pawn, which is generally considered better for the side with the two pieces.
