Superbet Classic 2024 R3: Praggnanandhaa misses a win against Gukesh

The highly anticipated battle between D Gukesh and R Praggnanandhaa ended in a draw in Round 3 of Grand Chess Tour Superbet Classic 2024. However, it was not without excitement. Gukesh made an incorrect queen trade offer in the endgame which allowed his opponent, to liquidate into a winning pawn endgame, except Praggnanandhaa could not manage to capitalize on his chance. It was not easy but certainly something a player of his calibre should not miss. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (FRA) was the other player who had a great opportunity to push for a win against Alireza Firouzja (FRA). The former World Blitz champion did not push his passed pawn at the right time. His opponent escaped with a draw. In Round 4, it will be Gukesh vs Nodirbek Abdusattorov (UZB) and Wesley So (USA) vs Praggnanandhaa.
