{It was the first time that Praggnanandhaa was facing a world class GM in a
serious rapid game. Pragg had just become a GM 15 days ago at the age of 12
years 10 months and 13 days. So the pressure of achieving that title was off
his shoulders. But at the same time I think this was another pressure
situation because people wanted to know how would he fare against one of the
best rapid players in the business. That being said, even Wesley So would have
faced the pressure because he was up against such a young boy, who was not
even a teenager. Full credit to organisers in Leon for organizing this
exciting four game rapid match with a time control of 20 minutes + 10 seconds
increment per move.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 {Wesley just wants to play something
original and not check Pragg's opening preparation.} d5 3. Bf4 {Baadur Jobava
can be credited with popularising this opening, but now it has been used by
just about every top player in elite chess.} Bf5 4. Nb5 {With this move White
frees his c-pawn to advance to c4 at an appropriate moment.} Na6 5. e3 e6 (5...
c6 6. Nc3 {is also possible, and now Black has to decide whether he wants to
allow the doubling on his pawns on a6 or just wants to move his knight to c7.})
6. c4 Be7 ({In the third rapid game of the match, Pragg improved with ...c6.} 
6... c6 7. Nc3 Nb4 8. Rc1 Qa5 {Wesley So - Praggnanandhaa, game 3, Leon Match
2018.}) 7. a3 O-O 8. c5 {This seemed like an ambitious move by Wesley, but he
is asking Pragg that if you think this is overextending and I am neglecting my
development, then try to punish! It's true, there is no easy way for Black to
punish White for the liberties he has taken.} Ne8 {This was a tad too passive.}
(8... c6 9. Nd6 (9. Nc3 Nb8 {and Black has a superior position to what
happened in the game because he hasn't lost time with ....Ne8.}) 9... Bxd6 $1

10. Nc3 Nb8 {Pragg realizes that he has to play ...Nd7 and try for a ...e5
break, but this looks a bit too slow.} 11. g4 $1 {I must say that this was an
ambitious choice by Wesley.} (11. Nf3 Nd7 12. Be2 $14 {And I felt that White
had a risk free edge because ...e5 for Black is not so easy to engineer and
meanwhile White has good control of the position.}) 11... Bg6 12. Nf3 {Now h4
followed by h5 was a big threat.} Nf6 {Not seeing any real way to fight
against h4-h5, Pragg gets his knight back on f6.} (12... h5 13. Ne5 $18) 13.
Ne5 {Wesley is not thinking about moving backwards!} (13. g5 Nh5 {Looks fine
for Black.}) 13... Nfd7 (13... Nbd7 14. Nxg6 (14. h4 $6 Nxe5 15. dxe5 Ne4 16.
Nxe4 Bxe4 {And Black is fine here because f3 will be met with an intermediate
Bxh4+} 17. f3 Bxh4+ 18. Ke2 Bg6 $19 {and now there is no h-pawn to trap the
bishop.}) 14... fxg6 15. h4 $16 {White is better.}) 14. Nxg6 fxg6 $1 15. Bg3 {
White's plan is now simple. Either to play h4-h5 and start an attack. Or just
play f4 and clamp down on the e5 square.} g5 {Pragg stops both f4 and h4 with
this move.} 16. Bd3 (16. f4 {Trying to clamp the e5 square would not be so
great as after} gxf4 17. exf4 g5 $1 {Black gets some good counterplay.}) 16...
Bf6 {Black is all set to play e5 and it seems as if White has no good way to
stop it. But Wesley is not really interested in stopping the move ...e5. He
goes for an aggressive idea.} 17. h4 $5 (17. Qb3 Kh8 (17... e5 18. Nxd5 $18)
18. Rd1 e5 19. Nxd5 cxd5 20. Qxd5 {was a much more accurate way to play.} Nc6
21. Bf5 $16) 17... gxh4 18. Bd6 e5 $1 {I am not sure how this move fares
theoretically. But I think practically it is a great decision. Black gives up
an exchange to finally get the break that he was aiming for right from the
opening.} 19. g5 $1 {Wesley is alert and spots his chance.} (19. Bxf8 Qxf8 $44
{seems like decent compensation.}) 19... Bxg5 20. Qh5 $2 {With this move So
gives up all his advantage in the position.} (20. dxe5 $1 $18 {After this
Black is left struggling because Qh5 is still a threat, so is f4 and the rook
is still hanging on f8:} Re8 21. Qh5 g6 22. Bxg6 hxg6 23. Qxg6+ Kh8 24. Qh5+

Bxe4 Nf6 23. Qxg5 Nxe4 $19) 22... Kh8 23. Bxf8 {And here perhaps Wesley was
thinking that Pragg would take on f8 with the knight and that he could go Qf7,
but the little boy surprised him with a nice intermezzo.} g6 $5 (23... Nxf8 24.
Qf7 Nfd7 $13 {and although Black is clumsily placed with his knights jumping
on each other's toes, it is still a fine position for Black.} (24... Ng6 25.
Qxb7 $16)) 24. Qg4 Nxf8 25. Qxe4 Qe7 26. Qxe7 Bxe7 {somewhere around this
point I started to feel that the game might end in a draw. The main reason
being that materially Black is doing really well. On the other hand White's
coordination is good so he might be able to recover a pawn or two until Black
fully develops.} 27. Ke2 g5 28. Rab1 a6 29. d5 cxd5 30. Bxd5 Nc6 31. Rhd1 Rb8

Bxc5 {The a-pawn is scary, but Pragg does well to get all his pieces working
together. Judging by the fact that he had just 10 seconds left on his clock,
it was a great feat by young Pragg.} 37. a4 Kf6 38. Be4 h6 39. Rd5 Ne6 40. Rf5+
Ke7 41. Bd5 Bd6 42. a5 h3 43. Kf3 h5 $6 {Perhaps it became a bit too much for
Pragg to just wait around. White was threatening to get his king to the
kingside with Kg4 and so on and hence Pragg went for something more concrete.}

47. Rh6+ Ke7 48. Kd5 Bc7 49. a6 Kf7 50. e4 {Now e5 is a threat, but Pragg has
it all figured out.} Kg7 51. Rh5 Kg6 52. Rh8 Kf6 {stopping ...e5.} 53. Kc5 Kg5

The threat is ...Bh4.} 56. Rg8+ Kf4 57. Rf8+ Kg4 58. Rf1 Bf2+ $1 59. Kd5 Bg1
$19) 55. Kd5 Bxf2 {I liked this idea of giving up the h-pawn, but putting all
the money on the g-pawn instead. Of course, ...g3 was winning, but it was not
easy to find it with just a few seconds left on the clock.} 56. Rxh2 g3 57. Rh8

have ended in a draw.} Kxg2 63. e6 Nc7+ 64. Kd6 Nxa6 65. e7 Bc5+ 66. Kd7 Bxe7
67. Kxe7 $11) 62... Bg3 $1 {The g-pawn is queening and there is no one that
can stop it.} 63. e6 g1=Q 64. e7 Nc7 {The e-pawn is stopped and Wesley
resigned. What a win for Praggnanandhaa. He fought against Wesley who was
rated 2852 in the rapid rating list on equal terms and came out strong!} 0-1
