R Praggnanandhaa can create history today, what will happen if the tiebreaker is also drawn, know the complete maths

The second classical of the FIDE World Cup 2023 between India's 18-year-old star chess player R Praggnanandhaa and 5-time world champion Magnus Carlsen also ended in a draw. Today on Thursday, a tiebreaker match will be played between the two, in which the champion will be decided. The second game lasted one and a half hours and after 30 moves both agreed on a draw. The biggest question before the draw to be played today is that if the tiebreaker is also drawn then who will become the champion? Before this match, let us understand what is the complete math of tiebreaker?

In the second game, Carlsen of Norway played brilliantly against Praggnanandhaa while playing with white pieces. However, the Indian player also had no problem playing with the black pieces. In the match which lasted for one and a half hours, both the players agreed to a draw after 30 moves. Let us tell you that earlier on Tuesday, the first game was drawn after more than 70 moves in more than 4 hours of play.

"I really didn't think that Carlsen would settle for a draw early," Praggnanandhan said after the second game was drawn. But, when I realized that he wanted a draw. Now I will give it all in the tiebreaker. Will he suggest to the organizers of future World Cups to give an extra day's rest before the final? On this, he said yes if it happens then it will be good.

At the same time, Carlsen said that Praggnanandhaa has played a lot of tiebreaks with very strong players in the past. He is strong enough. If I have a good day, then of course I will have a good chance. I am very grateful to the organizers, doctors, and nurses of FIDE who treated me well. I feel a little better now.

Today, two tiebreaker games will be played in rapid format, in which both will get 25 minutes. After each move, 10 seconds will be added to the player's time. If there is no result in two games, then two extra games will be played, in which both will have five minutes and after each move, three seconds will be added to the player's time.
