Praggnanandhaa leads, Firouzja downs Gukesh at Superbet Chess Classic

Bucharest, May 14 (UNI) After six rounds of play at the Superbet Chess Classic Romania 2025, the tournament remains wide open with four players tied for the lead on Wednesday.
In the only decisive game of the day, Grandmaster (GM) Alireza Firouzja defeated reigning World Champion GM D Gukesh to join GMs Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Fabiano Caruana and R Praggnanandhaa at the top of the leaderboard with 3.5 points apiece.
The round's other two games ended in draws, including a tense encounter between GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Praggnanandhaa. The Polish GM lost his footing, yet the Indian teenager was unable to fully capitalise. Despite winning a queen for a rook and knight and maintaining an initiative, Praggnanandhaa could not convert the advantage into a full point.
