The amount of times Pragg didn't grab pawns or material to improve his position; has got to be the most I've ever seen, bravo Sir

[@manishchoudhary6404]

@@xavierb9061that’s basically how to lose a chess game, not saying much

[@AbhishekYadav-rm4hw]

@@xavierb9061 you're not making sense here buddy, Engines also lose games to a stronger engine. If you'll see human games from an engines perspective, 99% of human games are just loser played extremely badly. Therefore, this is all just perspective and if you think a 2600 caliber player played badly, then idk probably you're a really strong player. As I think he played a good game, he found Qf2 as well where pragg had to play the only move to win (I know the move was tempting, but only if you see the Bg4 mate).

[@P.sherman45]

It's praggs best game But I won't call it immortal

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@manishchoudhary6404I think not Pragg was looking at the bigger picture than just capturing pieces just like many Grandmaster Games where a Queen could be easily captured but instead Checkmate is the Goal

[@VictorAlbaa]

Yea that was so cold bloded

[@Dajewish666]

The patience in this game by pragg is extraordinary

[@holylots]

It's correlated with confidence too. The N-h4 move which starts this incredible sequence is so counterintuitive, that someone less sure of themselves wouldn't have even mapped out the lines 10-15 moves out, because the material loss could feel like too much. Pragg trusted his intuition to explore it to the fullest, find this magical continuation and play out this masterpiece. Lesser mortals like us occasionally have such intuition, but likely succumb to fear very soon after.

[@a.m.armstrong8354]

Breathtaking chess, the king so beleaguered it is forced to shield minor pieces, the rook skulking in its wake. This game deserves to be known as the Praag 'IMMORTAL DECLINED'..

[@lp1926.guitars]

Pragg is the most Alpha zero player out there. No regard for material, just positional crush. Incredible player!

[@ChristianHegele]

The fact that Pragg somewhat regularly produces brillancies like this is what makes him so special, and my favourite of the new crop of young talent. I look forward watching him mature into a top ten player himself.

[@spindoctor6385]

"So let's not over push it...... Unless you guys want to." I for one think this is the most beautiful game I have seen of Praggnanandhaa's. That counts as his "immortal in my eyes.

[@vipulgupta]

I agree, for now it is not just the best game of Pragg but also one of the best game I have ever seen.

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

This is why chess is so fascinating: how many moves in a row was winning the exchange not Pragg's best move? And then when it meant an apparent queen sac, that's when he finally takes the rook, because now that's the best move.

[@davidholland4713]

The pieces rifling on the diagonals and files was awesome, and the creativity and efficiency of the check-mating attack spectacular. Bravo Pragg.

[@decreasing_entropy3003]

The control of the bishops that Pragg displayed is next to none! Sure-footed as a big cat about to pounce!

[@joediditde]

It's faszinating how we can see Pragg grow into a man while growing as a chess player.

[@ronjohnson9690]

Carlsen was a treat!

[@talphazero1036]

I remember watching a Chess With Suren video about 5 or so years ago when Praggnanandhaa hit something like 2544 and got his GM Title, I've been inspired by him ever since. Though he has been leading the charge for young Indian players, I think he should be viewed in the same light as someone like Alireza: A player with serious contention for World Champion Title. Players like Arjun and Gukesh are absolutely wonderful and I wish them the best, but I really hope Pragg takes it all the way and does what only Vishwanathan Anand could before him!

[@morgoth8815]

​@@talphazero1036Gukesh just became World no. 9 and also recently broke carlson's record for being the youngest to cross 2750. Also he is India no. 1 now and Anand is no. 2. Gukesh gets a bit less recognition than he deserves. Gukesh had crossed 2600 1 and half years after pragg and nihal and yet he is ahead of them though I can see why people seem to see more potential in pragg and nihal. They have been playing against top players for quite some time now.

[@bitcointrade4610]

@@morgoth8815 bCOZ PRAGG IS A PURE GENUIS .like PAUL MORPHY ., rarest of the rarest . Gukesh is undoubtedly strong , but the games pragg play is a visual beauty .

[@talphazero1036]

@@morgoth8815 That is all correct. Gukesh has been on a wonder run lately, but let us not be so quick. Alireza once gained up to or more than 100 points in a year and crashed into the 2800 club, even went to the Candidates. But what happened after that? He's still a beast of a player, but all that momentum is GONE. It's not hard for a top talent to overperform in multiple tournaments and overheat from achieving too early. I pray that is not the case for Gukesh and my bias towards Pragg doesn't lead you to think he is not worthy of his achievements, but consistency is key over numbers. Pragg has not performed any miracles yet, but his consistency is something I am willing to beat on over a top 9 spot. The year is only halfway done. We will see what is left from the Chess World and hopefully all these young talents are still performing as well as we have seen them doing

[@krystian19619]

This game is just wow, I had to put it into the engine to try to understand... even Stockfish had to think for a while to appreciate some of the Pragg's moves in the middlegame.

[@hkvamshi8754]

Nice game by Praggnanandhaa one of the finest chess talents in the world.🏆

Hari did surpass Anand for 1 day in Live rating, but no one ever passed Anand on published rating.

[@drewhardin3992]

If this is not an immortal it still part of a special class of game. A lot of chess games I can at least comprehend how one might find a series of moves. Some games you see a true master find moves and ideas that aren't just clever, but which speak to a deeper and more layered understanding of the game than a mere mortal will ever find. This was one of those games (for me at least).

[@neoindian9662]

Bravo Pragg! What a fantastic game!

[@ScienceFan33]

Brilliant. Beautiful game by prag. This is exactly my playing style. With a small difference that I lose misarably when I try to play like this

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Pragg continues to create wonders, but we have to remember the feat of the magician from Riga, beauty is a bad mistress. Gukesh is just 17 years old, and he is playing solid chess. In his 20s he could become a world chess champion challenger.

[@mach4182]

[@misternewoutlook5437]

Pragg energizes the Cozio defense! Agad was right - just masterfully calculated. This defence often comes with a finachetto of black's KB in many instances. It's kind of crampy in that regard because white gets a strong early initiative in the center. How black develops that bishop is the key. It'll be interesting to see if Pragg starts weaponizing the Cozio going forward. He's obviously been exploring some very unique ideas with it in his studies. Brilliant game!

[@agin1519]

Man it seems like we were excited by Nihal and Vidit, and then in a heck of a hurry Gukesh! Erigasi! Pragg!
