After losses in Round 13, D Gukesh and R Praggnanandhaa played out a tie-breaker in the 2025 Tata Steel Chess Masters, with the former coming good in sudden-death to win.

In the second game, Gukesh had a fine position but was gradually outplayed. In the third game, the decider, Praggnanandhaa was again on the defensive with his white pieces but then found some nice moves and Gukesh got overambitious in a position that would have been a draw otherwise.

Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa emerged victorious 2-1 in the tie-breaker against world champion D Gukesh to win the Tata Steel Masters chess tournament in Netherlands on Ferbuary 2. This was his first time winning the tournament,
