Alexander Grischuk wins Tata Steel India 2023 Blitz

R Praggnanandhaa started the final day of Tata Steel Chess India 2023 Blitz with a 2.5/3. In Round 13, he lost against Nodirbek Abdusattorov (UZB) after blundering his knight. He bounced back with a draw against Pentala Harikrishna. Then the teenager lost the next two games against the eventual winner, Alexander Grischuk and Vidit Gujrathi. He finally managed to beat D Gukesh for the first time at Tata Steel Chess India 2023 in the penultimate round. He drew against his good friend, Arjun Erigaisi in the final round to finish third on tie-breaks. Abdusattorov also scored the same 11/18 to secure second place. For the first time since 2018, no Indian won the Open section. The 2019 edition is an exception as Rapid and Blitz events were combined as it was part of Grand Chess Tour.

Praggnanandhaa scores five successive wins to lead with 6.5 points on opening day of Tata Steel Chess India Blitz 2023
