It is no joke to beat Fabi and Hikaru! Personally my favorite Indian player to watch! Jeez cant wait to see how he does against the final BOSS! 👏

Pragg is probably one of the handful of players in the world who doesn't get fazed while facing Magnus. So, the battle is going to be legendary! It would be ridiculous if he wins this world cup beating the top three best players in the world at the moment.

Final would be between ex world champion and future world champion. Out the 4 young indian GMs, Prag seems to handle the pressure better than others, thus giving him better chances at shorter formats. Overall all 4 have chance to become world champions and huge credit to Vishy for inspiring so many young people in India

The best strategy for pragg can be to draw Magnus in classical which is again a tough task. Magnus has got that godly instinct which allows him to see even the smallest of the mistakes from the opponent and how to convert them into a win. That's gonna be tough for Pragg but let's see how the young boy from India does!!

Just a reminder,when Pragg was no one ,Agad was the one continuously featuring his videos making him from Praggnananda to Our beloved Praggu!!

He was being recognized everywhere. Maybe you spotted Pragg on this channel. I was hearing about him on the news since he was 11 or something.

Worth noting is Pragg is the third youngest ever to qualify for the candidates tournament. Only beaten by Fischer and Carlsen. He's treading the same path as these legends of the game. While i think he has a little way to go before reaching the same heights, his future is looking incredibly bright.

Prag is just a beast. So talented. Can't wait to see Magnus v Prag.

Out of the top GMs from India, Pragg is the most tactical. IMO you cannot beat Magnus with just extreme positional play because Magnus is the closest to a computer in terms of such play style. With sharp tactical play however Pragg can at least create or hope to create some chances to take down the great Magnus. It sure is going to be a super exciting final.

I think Carlson will win eventually but it will not be easy. Reason Carlson will likely win is that Carlson has NEVER won this cup in his career. So he would not want to lose this opportunity since it may also be his last classical chess. Prag should never allow Carlson take the lead otherwise it will be over but if Prag takes the lead, Magnus can still do the impossible! I can't wait to see the games tomorrow. Thank you Agadmator for the beautiful analysis.

Pragg deserves all the appreciation. But the thing to be kept in mind is he escaped losing positions in crucial games against Caruana and Arjun also.
