CHENNAI: An explosive day in the Chessable Masters saw Anish Giri power into the semis to set up a semifinal clash with young gun R Praggnanandhaa. The red hot Dutchman knocked out Norway's no.2 Aryan Tari with a game to spare as he went 18 unbeaten in the event so far. He will face 16-year-old Praggu, who overcame a spirited comeback from Wei Yi to win 2.5-1.5.
The other semi in leg 4 of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour will see world no.1 Magnus Carlsen up against world no.2 Ding Liren.
