The Hindu
Erigaisi maintains two-point lead
Struggling for form, R. Praggnanandhaa punished Vidit Gujrathi for a misjudged pawn-capture and posted his second win in the Masters section of the Tata Steel chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee, near Amsterdam, on Wednesday.
The result kept Praggnanandhaa (3.5 points) in the 13th spot in the 14-player field but brought down Vidit (5.5) from the overnight joint third to tied fifth.
Magnus Carlsen (7) continued to lead after a 16-move draw in 20 minutes with Sergey Karjakin. After the final rest day, action resumes on Friday.
