India's young gun R Praggnanandhaa registered his third straight match-win on Sunday to continue his perfect start to the elite Oslo Esports Cup. The 16-year-old superstar-in-the-making is the only player with 9/9 points and has won the maximum $22,500 so far after he crushed Liem Quang Le with a game to spare.
Pragg now faces World Champion Magnus Carlsen in Round 4. If he gets past Magnus, like he did two months ago, Pragg will be the hot favourite to win the first Major of the 2022 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour season.
