Praggnanandhaa won with a game to spare in the best-of-four-game rapid encounters

With a stunning performance that attracted praise from the world’s elite, R. Praggnanandhaa destroyed American Christopher Yoo 3-0 to win the $40,000 Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour title on Sunday.

As in the previous two matches, Praggnanandhaa won with a game to spare in the best-of-four-game rapid encounters. In all, Praggnanandhaa scored a stupendous 8.5 from nine games. In fact, he could have finished with an astonishing 9/9 score had he not chosen to draw in a winning position against arch-rival Vincent Keymer in the semifinals.

Praggnanandhaa not only won $12,500 but also gained the right to play with the creamy layer of the chess world in the million-dollar Meltwater Champions Tour next year.
