Pragg beats streaking Vidit, 3 draws in Toronto

Pragg can smell blood right now.

―Tania Sachdev

The famous Tania Sachdev had much praise for Pragg in round 3. Pragg certainly smelled a chance to prove himself in this much anticipated matchup against his fellow Indian, Vidit. Vidit suffered much from the loss losing his first place position.

Ian, Fabi, Abasov, Hikaru, Alireza, and Gukesh all progressed half a point on Saturday.
