Charity Cup | Praggnanandhaa stuns World No. 3 Ding Liren

Ding Liren Charity Cup Vidit Gujrathi Eric Hansen Canada Magnus Carlsen

R. Praggnanandhaa continued to make strides by stunning World No. 3 Ding Liren and moving to the joint sixth spot after eight rounds of the $150,000 Charity Cup online rapid chess tournament on Sunday.

Vidit Gujrathi, fourth overnight, slipped to the tied 10th spot following two defeats and P. Harikrishna not only remained undefeated during the day but also scored his first victory to climb to the joint 12th spot.

Vietnam’s Le Quang Liem (20/24) held a four-point lead over Norwegian World champion Magnus Carlsen and Poland’s Jan-Krzysztof Duda. Seven rounds remain in the 16-player round-robin league, where a win is worth three points and a draw, one.
