BAKU: Another piece of news to be proud of for India, which is in the midst of celebrating the history-making Chandrayaan 3 landing on the moon. India's teenage prodigy R Praggnanandhaa once again tied world number one Magnus Carlsen in the Chess World Cup final. With this, the final will move to a tiebreaker.

The first round held yesterday also ended in a draw. The second game ended in a draw at 30 moves. With both classical games tied, tomorrow's tiebreaker will decide the winners of the Chess World Cup.

The tiebreaker will determine the winner in a rapid format. Five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen is the current world number one. Meanwhile, 18-year-old R Praggnanandhaa reached the final with an amazing leap. Praggnanandhaa defeated world number two Hikaru Nakamura and world number three Fabiano Caruana.
