For those who want to know who won? At the end, after handshake, check the color where the two kings are placed at the centre of the board. If both kings are placed on white squares, then white one (in this video), both on black squares (black won), different colors (draw)

[@Kelvinllovejr]

Very puzzling that a GM of Raunak's caliber immediately goes into a basic pawn 2 files apart lost endgame. Like Fischer taking the pawn with the bishop so confidently in the world championship

[@elawchess]

he didn't deliberately do that. He missed the Knight fork. In fact he might have realised the mistake as soon as he made it and that may be why he started looking around the room, trying to avoid giving it away.

@vipulgupta yes very strange. I mean even though both him and Pragg are great chess talents they are still just kids. Very young.

He was busy watching other games, he should have focused in his game instead when you are down a pawn in an endgame where one mistake would end the game.

[@trashtaffy]

Tournament chess is a balancing act between psychological pressure and chess understanding. Magnus recently praised Pragg as future world championship contender, saying he was 'not just a calculation monster but also very tough'. It feels like Raunak spent too much of his energy trying not to focus on the pressure of playing such an intimidating opponent.

[@mohitmohan7375]

That was so easy to spot. Seems like he got distracted

[@friedrichvolkmann]

Nd5+ was easy to spot, and for sure he had spotted it. Not as easy to spot is that White gets the opposition after Kg2-h3xh4-h5. The lines he probably calculated included the immediate race with the d and g pawns (i.e. an early g4-g5), where Black can stop both.

[@milohaze5871]

I don't believe he got distracted. More likely he just pose. Like he wants to say: All is ok! I have calculated everything! Easy draw! Trust me! Let's just make the draw! I am bored! 🙃🤣

Can you explain how??

[@factify6222]

​@@kataro4516yeah so basically Kf6 is a blunder because after the knight trades one of the white pawns will be unstoppable towards promotion

[@BO55]

d5 white pawn can be captured by black king, and h4 black pawn can be captured by white king. At this point White has one more pawn with king, and is a easy win for white. Hence Raunak resigned.

[@friedrichvolkmann]

Raunak resigned because he realized not only that he was losing but also that Pragg had calculated the line to the win (otherwise Pragg wouldn't have simplified to the pawn ending, but tried something else). When you see 0% chance of saving the game, you don't want to waste your time and humiliate yourself by playing on, say, till the mate.
