Grand Chess Tour Finals 2026: Praggnanandhaa books title clash, dominates Keymer

Indian chess grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa booked his place in Grand Chess Tour (GCT) title clash, prevailing over Germany's Vincent Keymer in the two rapid games in the semifinals on Monday. Praggnanandhaa beat Keymer 9-3 in a classical match to start things off, before blanking Keymer 4-0 in two rapid games to take the scoreline to 17-3. There are four blitz games yet to go, with two points for a win and a point on a draw on offer. But even winning all those games would not make a difference for the German due to sheer weight of points already collected by the Indian star. https
