When Praggnanandhaa's back was pushed to the wall | Arjun Erigaisi vs Pragg | FIDE World Cup 2023

When Praggnanandhaa played the second classical game, he was in a must-win situation against Arjun Erigaisi. That's because Arjun had won his first classical game. Now with the white pieces, Arjun just needed a draw. To fight for a win with black pieces against a player of Arjun's calibre is never easy. Would Pragg be able to do? Or would he be knocked out. At stake was a spot in the semi-finals of the FIDE World Cup 2023 and also the Candidates 2024. Commentary by IM Sagar Shah.

These matches proved that both these players dont succumb to pressure. They actually play the best under pressure
1) Prag won must win classical match
2) Arjun won back to back must-win Rapid and Blitz matches
3) Prag came 35 secs late to the final match but still played the best, won the match

Maybe this only proves both of them collapse under pressure?

It was fantastic to see Arjun playing till the end and not resign early. Both are such classy players. Congratulations to Pragg!!
