Praggnanandhaa Endures Dubov's Marshall Attack

Video Description

Featured is a sharp chess game between Praggnanandhaa R and Daniil Dubov from Round 4 of the 2025 FIDE World Cup. Out of the Ruy Lopez, Praggnanandhaa welcomes the Marshall Attack, but instead of the main 10. Nxe5, he plays the quieter 10. h3. Even without taking the gambited pawn, the game quickly enters sharp, tactical waters as Dubov establishes a strong black pawn on e4. Both players miss tactical opportunities in this intense clash. Can you spot what the Grandmasters did not? #FIDEWorldCup #Praggnanandhaa #DaniilDubov Image of Praggnanandhaa by Lennart Ootes lennartootes.com I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
