WHY DID PRAGG ACCEPT A DRAW? Praggnanandhaa R. was in a dominating position against Alekseenko in the seventh round of the World Junior Championship 2017. His knight was active, so was his rook. He also had an outside passed pawn. But then suddenly he repeated the position thrice and accepted the draw. For a fighter like Pragg this was a very surprising decision. Why did he do that? IM Sagar Shah tries to dig deeper.
