The tournament now hinges on the last round. Arjun Erigaisi, having mustered some confidence from today’s win, will take on Gukesh while Pragg meets Gukesh’s world championship second, Vincent Keymer.
Arjun Erigaisi is yet to win a single game at the Tata Steel Masters. The Indian lost four and drew three games and will face world champion D Gukesh and Uzbek star Nodirbek Abdusattarov next.
