Baku: India’s 18-year-old chess sensation R Praggnanandhaa has once again drawn with world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen after over one hour of intense competition in the second game of the Chess World Cup Final in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku.

Previously, an esteemed figure in Indian chess had anticipated that Carlsen, who was utilizing the white pieces, could opt for a draw. Analysts pointed out that Carlsen's strategy was influenced by his struggle with food poisoning. This led him to extend the game to the third day to attain optimal physical condition and focus.

Both accomplished Grandmasters are vying for their inaugural World Cup championship.
