Pre-competition practice session; Interference by eyewitnesses when the game is serious; Finally, shaking hands and reciting upacharam. In Vadkanpat, Aromal Cheka and Chanthu had their first fight in the Chess World Cup finals, reminiscing about their childhood rivalry. The first game between Indian player R. Pragnananda and Norwegian player Magnus Carlsen in Baku, Azerbaijan ended in a draw in 35 moves. The second game will be played today. If there is a tie today, it will be a tiebreaker the next day.
The first move was Pragnananda’s with white balls. Four Knights English start with four horses fielded first. A match that has never been played between the two. Under the stress of the unusual start and the care not to get caught up in the ‘miracles’ that Pragnananda had prepared, Magnus began to think in the first moves. Pragga responded with a queen-rook joint move that opened up the queenside to countermoves from the skeptical world No.1. The advantage of time was also in Pragnananda’s favor. Pragga’s moves were all about lacing the pawn on the B7 square and the weaknesses that might later develop on Magnus’s queenside. After the start Pragga had more than a money lead.
In a generally calm English start, Magnus was initially hesitant, but with precise counter-moves, Magnus took the game into the middle stages. With the queen cut off from each other on the 18th move, the game entered the philosophical endgame of exploiting minor flaws and advancing. While Pragga’s trump card was the one leg (passed pawn) in the A line, Magnus’s strength was the leg chain in the mid lane. With both of them targeting each other’s opponent’s strongholds, even a small mistake could prove crucial. Magnus’s attempt was to pressurize Pragga by advancing the infantry in the center. With the rigor of a computer, Pragga blocked those advances and cut off the bones. After going through the intricacies of chess, the two shook hands and left the rest of the game for the second set.
Magnus will fight for victory in the next game. I try to relax and come refreshed. That is my only goal. – Pragnananda
