Praggnanandhaa holds Firouzja at Superbet Chess Classic

Bucharest, May 14 (UNI) Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa held fellow co-leader GM Alireza Firouzja to a hard-fought draw in the seventh round of the Superbet Chess Classic Romania 2025 here on Thursday IST, maintaining his place in a four-way tie at the top of the leaderboard with just two rounds to go.
Praggnanandhaa, playing White, appeared to have a slight edge when Firouzja ceded the bishop pair early in the middlegame. However, a minor inaccuracy with 23.Bc1 allowed the French-Iranian GM to trade down into an equal position. The draw keeps both players on 4 points, along with GMs Fabiano Caruana and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who also split points in their respective games.
The only decisive result of the day came from Uzbek GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov, who defeated GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda to register his first win of the tournament. With this victory, Abdusattorov jumped into joint second on 3.5 points, alongside GMs Levon Aronian, Wesley So, and local hope Bogdan-Daniel Deac.
