So beats Pragg in Armageddon, claims Sinquefield Cup title for second consecutive year

Wesley So won the Sinquefield Cup for a third time (and for a second year in a row) after defeating Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu in tiebreaks. The pair had finished the classical event tied on 5½/9, before two rapid draws sent the contest to Armageddon. Praggnanandhaa missed several winning chances with white, allowing So to hold the draw he needed to claim the title.
