The second round of the Prague Masters saw India's R Praggnanandhaa being held for his second consecutive draw against Turkey's Gurel Ediz. However, Aravindh Chithambaram managed to go past the defences of Germany's Vincent Keymer to register an impressive win.
It was Chithambaram's maiden victory with the black pieces, after his escape from a challenging position in the opening round against Czech Grandmaster Nguyen Thai Dai Van.
