Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa proved himself better than his peers and finished clear fourth while Magnus Carlsen came up with a rousing 8/9 performance on the final day to seal his place at the top of the tables in the Superbet rapid and blitz tournament, a part of the grand chess tour.


Leading by a huge 2.5 points margin going into the last day with nine rounds of blitz still remaining, Wei Yi of China had to be content with a second place finish after a below par 5 points in the last nine games.


Carlsen won by a whisker getting past Yi in the closing stages of the tournament. The World No. 1 was visibly tired after nine games yesterday followed by another four games in an event that he played online.
