Chessable Masters 7: Ding takes lead against Pragg

Chinese world no. 2 Ding Liren said his plan “to avoid any complicated line” paid off as he won both games with the black pieces on Day 1 of the Chessable Masters final. 16-year-old Indian prodigy Praggnanandhaa managed to hit back in Game 2 but was held to a draw in Game 4 as Ding Liren won the first mini-match 2.5:1.5. That means Pragg must now win Thursday’s second match to force tiebreaks, or Ding Liren will have won his first Meltwater Champions Chess Tour title.
