Praggnanandhaa won the Uzchess Cup, Masters in Tashkent that finished on June 27th and consolidated his lead in the 2025 FIDE Circuit (chessnumbers article on chess.com: can Praggnanandhaa be caught, spoiler, yes!), winning that has a first prize of a Candidates place. Praggnanandhaa had to beat the long time leader Nodirbek Abdusattorov with the black pieces in the final round.
Praggnanandhaa emerged as winner only after two blitz tie-breaks against Abdusattorov and Javokhir Sindarov.
The event will be likely remembered for Richard Rapport's impressive sacrificial win in a King's Indian over Praggnanandhaa in Round 6.
I have some annotated games below. This isn't what I'm aiming to do eventually, I want to do one or two games at most where I annotate. I'm also going to change the news feed to very short reportsd and move this to another section. The site is very much work in progress at the moment.
