Must Read

In Chess, Teenage Indian Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa defeated world number one Magnus Carlsen to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Freestyle Grand Slam chess event in Las Vegas. The 19-year-old outplayed the Norwegian champion in just 39 moves in a dominant Round 4 clash last night. 
 
 
Carlsen, who leads the overall tour standings, has now been knocked out of title contention. He finished tied fourth in Group White and lost a playoff against Levon Aronian, which dropped him into the lower bracket. The best he can now finish is third. Praggnanandhaa, meanwhile, holds the joint lead in Group White with 4.5 points, alongside Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Javokhir Sindarov. His run included a draw with Abdusattorov, wins over Bibisara Assaubayeva and Vincent Keymer, and the big upset over Carlsen.
