Today, I am feeling a bit better but I still didn&#8217;t feel like I had the energy for a full fight, so I thought, let&#8217;s get one more day of rest. Hopefully, I will have more strength tomorrow,&#8221; the Norwegian world No.1 added.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Carlsen, the five-time world champion, produced a good game with white pieces against Praggnanandhaa. The Indian had no problems with the black pieces, and the players agreed to a draw after 30 moves in an equal Bishop conclusion.<br \/>The two tie-break games in rapid format on Thursday will be played with a time control of 25 minutes for each player plus 10 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"chess1\" msid=\"102992484\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-102992484,width-600,resizemode-4\/102992484.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If those two games also fail to throw a winner, two more games with time control of 5 minutes for each player will be played.
