Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa, 16, has failed to qualify for the knockouts in the ongoing Airthings Masters, an online rapid chess tournament. Praggnanandhaa finished at the 11th spot in the standings and hence he failed to make the cut.
Only eight qualified for the knockouts from the round-robin stage. Earlier, Praggnanandhaa had stunned world champion, Magnus Carlsen, in the eighth round.
Carlsen’s revival after a tough first day of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour was pegged back by the youngest player in the field.
