And this is why chess is a game of nerves and why you never resign. Pragg was at +3, a huge advantage. But after his first blunder he went to +0, completely equal. And just two moves later he had a second blunder and he was at -a lot. Rapport could have resigned before and lost the match, by keeping up the pressure he got a surprising win. Blunders happen, never resign.
Props to Richard for finding the brilliant move Be6, sacking his rook for that incredible defense that’s self sufficient enough to push his pawn freely.
It's always sad when anybody makes a blunder in tournament chess. There's a difference between playing badly and losing vs blundering when you presumably knew better. I'm not a skilled enough player to know which of those 2 scenarios I'm seeing here. The Indian player is clearly unhappy, but is it because he's losing or because he's thinking "oh crap that was a bad move"? I'm happy if anyone with a better understanding of chess or these players or this game can explain it to me. Otherwise I'll just feel bad for a guy clearly unhappy about his loss. And I'll feel good for his opponent, since why exactly should I be unhappy that one guy won and not the other, just because of the emotionally manipulative soundtrack?
Even as an Indian, I love the way Rapport plays, THE most creative chess player currently period. Always coming up with new and aggressive ideas even helped ding play new lines for white, great player.
Man bishop e6 is a stunning move, basically the idea is that white cannot stop blacks pawn from queening unless they give up the rook and plays rook h1. This is because the bishop blocks the g8 square so the skewer on the king is no longer a possibility.
Thats some insane move by rapport though, sacrificing a rook and a bishop just to prevent the skewer of the pawn
The mistakes are simply waiting to be made.
Please!! Rapport this guy
That's nothing… I can make 5x more blunders than him in a single chess game.

Praggagagagagananada is overrated
Rapport is one of the few respectful and kind hearted players, in the top 25. He's a killer, but still has a heart.
I do that almost every day. From winning to getting destroyed after some stupid blunder
Ty Raport for playing for Romania 🇷🇴
This is comforting to know that it still happens to grandmasters
SORRY FOR THAT❤
No one can compare with him
So why does the bishop move end the game? 🤷🏽♂️
Time pressure. Opponent was running rings around him.
rapport surely knows that pain
Richard has a good rapport.
Pragg is very young and with immense potential.
Triple H play chess
Sad ? Das ist jedem Schachspieler schon passiert.
Where the sadness just a game
Us bro Us I use to do blunders every day 😅
you could say Rapport built rapport with Pragg by being polite
Да, бландер, это класика в выигрышных
Sorry about your checkmate, and all the best to you.
"want to analyse?" one of the most meaningful sentences
Why this music for chess game such a cringey video
even Rapport was sad for him
Declan Rice secret life as a chess legend
Women weaken legs!
😢😢
Rapport is a good person you can tell.

Why didn’t he gloat and do a victory dance?

Two of my favorite players !! So kind to one another … that’s what I like to see! 🙂
True of chess and true of life
INEXCUSABLE HOW U COULD BE A 2700 SUPER GM ONLY TO BLUNDER THE GAME AWAY LIKE THAT. . . .
Where's the sad part
That game smells like teen spirit.
What was the last mistake? He could just take the rook on A8?
so kurt cobain is not dead..
If I had an ELO point for every time someone could have sorry to me, I'd be Magnus Carlsen!
They say you can usually recover from one blunder, but two is much more difficult.
Asking "want to analyze" after such heartbreak shows the mind of a champion
A real gentleman. Quite rare quality in the top chess world.
❤
I bet on Pragg and he lost. Richard who is also Hungarian says to me the I'm sorry as well. Luck favors the prepared

Ding met him in the hallway after this win
