Indian Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa held Poland’s Duda Jan-Krzysztof to a draw in Round 6 of the Superbet Chess Classic 2025 in Bucharest, maintaining joint lead with 3.5 points in the Grand Chess Tour.
Bucharest, Romania: Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa played out a draw with Poland’s Duda Jan-Krzysztof to maintain joint lead with 3.5 points after the sixth round of Superbet Chess Classics, a part of the grand chess tour.
Playing the black side of an English opening, Praggnanandhaa was subjected to some initial tactics by Duda but the Indian was quite up to task in not giving any free-way to the Polish opponent.
Duda showed his intent with a queen sacrifice for a rook and minor piece in the middle game and Praggnanandhaa was quick to realise that his chances were slim. The draw was the best result possible as neither player could make much progress.
