GCL Day 4: SG Alpine Warriors survive MVL carnage, Pragg wins the decider

One Berlin fell, the other one didn’t. Magnus Carlsen’s Berlin did not hold up against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. However, D Gukesh’s Berlin proved to be strong enough to hold Alexander Grischuk to a draw. It was R Praggnanandhaa’s win against Javokhir Sindarov which helped SG Alpine Warriors beat upGrad Mumba Masters. It was a win by a minimum margin 0-3 (7-8). Before that, upGrad Mumba Masters handed Ganges Grandmasters their first defeat of the event. Despite MVL losing to Vishy Anand, Grischuk and Harika Dronavalli’s key victories ensured the fall of GG. Monday’s action kicks off at 5:30 p.m. local time, 7 p.m. IST. | Photo: Maria Emelianova
