This is a wild chess game between R Praggnanandhaa and Richard Rapport from Round 6 of the 2025 Uzchess Cup. The opening takes us into the King’s Indian Defense, Sämisch Variation, with opposite sides castling setting the stage for dynamic play. Rapport sacrifices a piece to unleash the full power of the bishop pair, opening multiple lines of attack toward Praggnanandhaa’s king. Watch how Rapport creates complications with relentless threats, all while his own king stays completely untouched.
