The 17-year-old Grandmaster Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu was not having a great time currently. He came a long way from his homeland, India, to Reykjavik to win and sweep the entire tournament, and yet, what had he found here?
A disappointment.
Yeah, it was still the third day of the tournament, yet he found his rhythm to be pretty chaotic. Even though he managed to win his first game, he failed to capitalize on his advantage in the second one, being forced to a draw against an old and washed IM from England, causing his rating to go down pretty badly. Then, as if God of chess wanted to rub it on his face, now, in the third game of the tournament, he fought against a no-named player with the rating of 2100 who played like Alireza Firouzja or any other beast on top of the world.
It was so frustrating when even the world itself seemed to fight against him.
