Indian grandmaster R. Praggnanandhaa finishes second at the Sinquefield Cup in St Louis after losing the event’s deciding Armageddon game to Wesley So. So is listed as the eventual champion, while Praggnanandhaa ends the tournament runner-up.
Both outlets describe the result as coming through a tie-break format, with the match level before the Armageddon game determines the winner. NDTV frames the outcome as Praggnanandhaa losing “in the Armageddon game,” while The Hindu similarly reports a “tie-break loss” to So. The difference is mainly in wording; the underlying sequence—tied contest followed by an Armageddon deciding game—matches across the reports.
With the final result confirmed as Praggnanandhaa second and So champion, the coverage focuses on the head-to-head conclusion of the tournament’s decisive stage rather than earlier rounds or broader standings.
