It wouldn't be an overstatement to say this was the most unfortunate game of Praggnanandhaa's classical chess career till date. From a totally winning position in a game that he dominated, Pragg makes two back to back blunders which land him in a totally lost position. This happened at round 3 of the Prague Masters 2024. Check out the video to find how that happened with the commentary by IM Sagar Shah.

Pragg was dominating the earlier part of the middlegame but made some huge errors, the position got very complicated and I think he overlooked. A game like this at strong GM level is heartbreaking.
