The hall venue was dead-quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the pieces hitting the chessboard. Not a single person said anything here; all of them were concentrating on their own games. Some players who were already exhausted and didn't really see any other reason to play again chose a quick draw, wanting to end their tournament prematurely. However, that didn't affect the tension at all, as the crucial round to determine the winner was still running.
The main focus, of course, lay on the match between Gukesh and Praggnanandhaa.

This made the civil war between two Indian teenagers more attractive for the viewers.
