R. Praggnanandhaa missed out on a quarterfinal spot of the Charity Cup online rapid chess tournament following a three-way tie for the eighth place on Tuesday.
Praggnanandhaa, who lost the 15th and final round, could have qualified even with a last-round draw but eventually finished 10th after being joint eighth with David Navara and Richard Rapport. The trio had an identical record of five wins, six draws and four losses, but Navara made it on superior tie-break.
